ΙΙ.
The Internal Flash memory (1GB) storage status. The Disk percentage (%) tells you how
much of your Flash memory is currently being used to store Banks. This information is very
useful
when
considering
how
to
best
allocate
memory
requirements.
If
you
need
to
clear
out
one
or
more
Banks
in
order
to
have
room
to
import
other
items,
use
the
Delete
function.
See
section
3.7.1.8.
ΙΙΙ.
The RAM memory usage. This percentage tells you how much of the 500MB of RAM is
being used by the currently active Preset.
3.7.1.6
Menu – Import
It
is
possible
to
import
VFX
Library
components
from
a
USB
memory
device
into
the
V-‐
Machine’s
internal
Flash
(long-‐term)
memory.
The
following
options
are
provided:
Bank,
Bank
+
Plugins,
All
Banks,
All
Banks
+
Plugins.
If
you
choose
an
import
option
that
includes
importing
plugins,
it
will
overwrite
any
versions
of
the
same
plugin
that
may
already
reside
in
the
Flash
memory.
If
a
plugin
has
been
updated
by
the
manufacturer,
overwriting
the
old
version
with
the
new
one
may
affect
the
sound
of
other
Presets,
so
this
situation
needs
to
be
managed
with
care.
If
you
want
to
import
a
single
Bank,
before
entering
the
Global
System
Settings
menu
you
will
need
to
browse
to
that
bank
on
the
external
USB
memory,
using
the
buttons
in
the
top
row.
The
name
of
the
Bank
will
be
surrounded
by
square
brackets,
like
this:
[MyBank].
Load
a
Preset
from
that
Bank,
and
then
enter
the
Global
System
Settings
menu.
Now
you
can
select
Bank
in
the
Import
menu,
and
the
selected
Bank
will
be
copied
from
the
external
library
into
the
Flash
memory.
3.7.1.7
Menu – Export
It is possible to Export VFX Library components from the V-‐Machine’s Flash memory to a USB
device.
The
following
options
are
provided:
Bank,
Bank
+
Plugins,
All
Banks,
All
Banks
+
Plugins.
After
navigating
to
the
Export
page
in
the
Global
System
Settings
menu,
choose
the
desired
option
and
then
press
the
left
arrow
next
to
the
word
“Export.”
Exporting
from
the
V-‐Machine
is
only
possible
when
you
have
a
USB
memory
device
connected.
The
V-‐Machine
will
export
your
selection
to
a
VFX
Library
folder
on
the
USB
memory
device
with
the
name
‘V-‐MACHINE.vfxlibrary’
in
the
top
(root)
directory
on
your
USB
memory
device.
If
you
already
have
a
folder
by
that
name
in
the
root
directory
of
the
device,
the
Exported
items
will
be
added
to
that
Library.
The
main
reason
to
export
a
Bank
that
you
imported
to
the
V-‐Machine
in
the
first
place
is
because
you
may
have
edited
one
or
more
of
the
Presets
in
the
Bank
using
the
V-‐Machine’s
front-‐panel
controls.
By
exporting
the
Bank
to
external
memory,
you
create
a
copy
that
can
be
kept
in
long-‐term
storage.
After
reconnecting
the
USB
memory
device
to
your
computer,
you
may
want
to
change
the
name
of
the
exported
Library
to
remind
you
of
the
edits
that
you’ve
made.

Menu – Delete
The Delete function on the V-‐Machine hardware only deletes Library components stored in the
