  does	
  not	
  delete	
  Libraries	
  or	
  Library	
  components	
  stored	
  on	
  
external	
  USB	
  connected	
  media.	
  To	
  delete	
  Libraries	
  and	
  the	
  files	
  within	
  them,	
  attach	
  the	
  USB	
  
media	
  to	
  your	
  computer	
  and	
  use	
  your	
  computer’s	
  operating	
  system.	
  
The	
  Delete	
  Menu	
  in	
  the	
  V-‐Machine	
  allows	
  you	
  to	
  delete	
  a	
  single	
  Preset,	
  a	
  single	
  Bank,	
  All	
  Banks,	
  
or	
  All	
  Banks	
  +	
  Plugins.	
  If	
  you	
  want	
  to	
  delete	
  a	
  single	
  Preset	
  or	
  Bank,	
  you	
  must	
  select	
  it	
  (by	
  
loading	
  it)	
  in	
  the	
  V-‐Machine’s	
  main	
  screen	
  before	
  entering	
  the	
  Global	
  System	
  Settings	
  menu.	
  If	
  
an	
  external	
  Bank	
  is	
  selected,	
  you	
  will	
  not	
  see	
  the	
  option	
  to	
  delete	
  a	
  single	
  Preset	
  or	
  a	
  single	
  
Bank.	
  In	
  this	
  situation,	
  your	
  only	
  choices	
  will	
  be	
  to	
  delete	
  All	
  Banks	
  or	
  All	
  Banks	
  +	
  Plugins.	
  
Important	
  Note:	
  Even	
  if	
  an	
  external	
  Bank	
  is	
  active	
  when	
  you	
  enter	
  the	
  Global	
  System	
  Settings	
  
Menu	
  to	
  use	
  the	
  Delete	
  commands,	
  these	
  choices	
  refer	
  to	
  the	
  internal	
  Flash	
  memory,	
  not	
  to	
  the	
  
external	
  Library	
  —	
  so	
  use	
  the	
  Delete	
  command	
  with	
  care.	
  
Use	
  the	
  arrow	
  buttons	
  in	
  the	
  second	
  row	
  to	
  select	
  the	
  desired	
  Library	
  component	
  to	
  delete.	
  	
  
Press	
  the	
  third	
  left	
  arrow	
  (by	
  the	
  word	
  Delete)	
  and	
  then	
  confirm	
  the	
  operation	
  by	
  pressing	
  it	
  
again	
  in	
  response	
  to	
  the	
  message	
  “Really	
  Delete?	
  OK”.	
  If	
  you	
  change	
  your	
  mind,	
  simply	
  press	
  
Back or Cancel, as needed.
It	
  is	
  important	
  to	
  understand	
  what	
  is	
  actually	
  deleted.	
  For	
  example,	
  deleting	
  a	
  Preset	
  only	
  
deletes	
  the	
  Preset	
  information,	
  but	
  not	
  its	
  associated	
  plugin(s).	
  This	
  is	
  because	
  there	
  may	
  be	
  
another Preset that uses the same plugin! If you want to delete a plugin, see section 3.7.1.9.
Delete Preset – This option deletes the currently selected Preset only. All plugins used in the
Preset remain, in case they’re being used by other Presets.
Delete	
  Bank	
  –	
  This	
  option	
  deletes	
  the	
  currently	
  selected	
  Bank	
  and	
  all	
  Presets	
  within	
  it.	
  Again,	
  
all	
  associated	
  plugins	
  used	
  in	
  the	
  delected	
  Presets	
  will	
  remain	
  in	
  memory,	
  in	
  case	
  they’re	
  being	
  
used by Presets in other Banks.
Delete	
  All	
  Banks	
  –	
  This	
  option	
  deletes	
  all	
  Banks	
  and	
  all	
  Presets.	
  All	
  of	
  the	
  plugins	
  stored	
  in	
  Flash	
  
memory	
  will	
  remain	
  available,	
  however,	
  so	
  that	
  they	
  can	
  be	
  used	
  when	
  new	
  Banks	
  and	
  Presets	
  
are loaded.
Delete	
  All	
  Banks	
  +	
  Plugins	
  –	
  This	
  option	
  completely	
  clears	
  the	
  V-‐Machine’s	
  internal	
  Flash	
  
memory	
  storage.	
  All	
  Banks,	
  Presets,	
  and	
  plugins	
  are	
  deleted.	
  This	
  is	
  essentially	
  a	
  complete	
  
format of the V-‐Machine’s internal memory.
Pay	
  due	
  consideration	
  to	
  what	
  you	
  delete.	
  If	
  you’ve	
  edited	
  a	
  Preset	
  and	
  saved	
  it	
  to	
  Flash	
  
memory,	
  by	
  deleting	
  it	
  you	
  may	
  lose	
  a	
  great	
  sound	
  forever!	
  
3.7.1.9
Menu – Delete Plugins
The delete plugin option allows for selection and deletion of plugins from the V-‐Machine’s
internal	
  Flash	
  memory.	
  
	
  
Use	
  the	
  left/right	
  arrow	
  buttons	
  in	
  the	
  second	
  row	
  to	
  select	
  a	
  plugin	
  for	
  deletion.	
  Once	
  this	
  is	
  
selected,	
  press	
  the	
  keypad	
  button	
  adjacent	
  to	
  the	
  Delete	
  label,	
  and	
  confirm	
  by	
  pressing	
  the	
  
keypad	
  button	
  adjacent	
  to	
  the	
  OK	
  label.	
  If	
  you	
  change	
  your	
  mind,	
  press	
  the	
  button	
  next	
  to	
  Back	
  
or	
  Cancel.	
  
	
  
Quick	
  Tip:	
  If	
  you	
  have	
  enough	
  memory	
  available	
  in	
  either	
  internal	
  or	
  external	
  Flash	
  storage	
  
locations, it can be very convenient to leave plugins there. Often many of your Presets will use
