the same plugin, so it doesn’t make sense to continually transfer or delete the actual plugin
(and
associated
files,
samples,
etc.)
as
you
make
new
Presets.
Synchronizing
a
new
Preset
to
the
V-‐Machine
from
the
computer
or
importing
from
USB
memory
will
proceed
much
faster
if
the
plugin
is
already
stored
in
the
V-‐Machine.
During
synchronization
over
USB,
you
are
given
the
option
to
synchronize
with
or
without
plugins.
You
can
also
choose
to
leave
or
overwrite
plugins
if
they
are
already
on
the
V-‐Machine.
For
details
on
this
process,
see
section
5.11.1
on

3.7.2 Save Command
Pressing
the
two
buttons
in
the
second
row,
next
to
the
word
SAVE,
activates
the
Save
command.
The Save command saves a snapshot of the
currently
active
Preset,
including
all
parameter
values,
to
its
original
location.
If
it
was
loaded
from
Flash
memory,
your
edits
will
be
saved
to
the
Flash
memory
location.
If
it
was
loaded
from
a
Library
on
an
external
USB
device,
the
edited
version
will
be
saved
to
that
Library.
The Save command can also be accessed via a MIDI controller as described in section 3.7.1.4.
3.7.3 MIDI Learn Command
Pressing
the
two
in-‐line
keypads
adjacent
to
the
LEARN
command
label
activates
the
MIDI
Learn
command.
The
Learn
command
is
used
for
assigning
plugin
parameters
to
external
MIDI
controllers.
This
is
a
great
way
to
have
hands-‐on
control
of
your
sounds
in
performance.
To use this function, follow these steps:
●
Make
sure
you
have
the
plugin
parameter
selected
that
you
wish
to
assign
to
an
external
MIDI
knob/fader.
●
Activate the Learn function.
●
Move the controller knob/fader on your connected MIDI controller.
The
plugin
parameter
has
now
been
assigned
to
receive
MIDI
control
messages
from
your
chosen
controller.
The
V-‐Machine
allows
you
to
assign
as
many
parameters
as
you’d
like
to
a
single
controller.
This
can
be
a
powerful
feature
–
for
example,
you
could
open
up
a
synthesizer’s
lowpass
filter
while
also
panning
its
signal
from
left
to
right.
However,
this
power
opens
the
door
to
possible
confusion.
For
best
results,
assign
only
one
parameter
to
each
of
the
hardware
knobs
or
sliders
on
your
controller.
If
you
want
to
use
a
knob
or
slider
for
a
different
function
in
the
same
Preset,
first
select
the
parameter
that
is
currently
being
controlled
by
the
knob
or
slider,
then
use
the
dual-‐press
Learn
command,
and
finally
press
the
left-‐arrow
button
next
to
the
word
Unlearn.
Quick Tip: If you wish to be able to use the assigned MIDI control message the next time you
