If
you
highlight
“Replace
existing
plugins,”
then
in
the
case
of
a
duplicated
plugin,
the
one
in
the
current
Library
will
be
replaced
by
one
from
the
other
Library.
When you choose Export to VFX Library..., you will see a box showing the contents of the
currently
active
Library.
Choose
the
item
(All
Banks,
a
single
Bank,
or
a
single
Preset)
that
you
want
to
export,
and
use
the
checkbox
and
radio
buttons
to
specify
how
you
want
to
handle
the
plugins
during
the
export
operation.
As
with
the
importing
dialog
box,
if
you
choose
“Keep
existing
plugins”
when
exporting,
then
any
duplicated
plugins
in
the
Library
to
which
you’re
exporting
will
not
be
changed.
If
you
choose
“Replace
existing
plugins,”
then
any
duplicated
plugins
in
the
other
Library
will
be
replaced.
After
you
choose
an
item,
click
the
Export
button.
A
file
dialog
box
will
open,
in
which
you
will
be
asked
to
choose
the
Library
folder
that
the
item
will
be
exported
(copied)
to.
Note
that
exporting
an
item
does
not
remove
it
from
the
currently
active Library.
With the Import VST Plugin... item in the File menu, you can import a plugin into the currently
active Library. The details on this procedure are found in section 5.5 on page 56.
5.5.7.2
Bank Menu
Each Library can contain one or more Banks. Creating Banks of related Presets will make the
Presets
easier
to
find
and
load
quickly
on
the
V-‐Machine.
To
create
a
new
Bank,
use
the
New
Bank
command
in
the
Bank
menu.
This
will
create
a
Bank
with
a
default
numbered
name
(such
as
“Bank
1”).
You
can
then
use
the
Rename
Bank...
command
to
give
this
Bank
a
useful
descriptive
name.
The command Delete all Presets in Bank clears a bank. When you choose this command, you’ll
see
a
dialog
box
asking
you
to
confirm
that
this
is
what
you
want
to
do.
The
Delete
Bank
command
is
similar,
but
it
deletes
both
the
Presets
in
the
Bank
and
the
Bank
itself.
The
Delete
All
Banks
command
clears
the
Library
of
all
Banks.
These
commands
do
not,
however,
remove
plugins from the Library. To remove plugins, use the commands in the Plugins menu.
Important
Note:
There
is
no
undo
command
in
the
VFX
Application.
Don’t
delete
objects
unless
you’re
sure
you
won’t
need
them
again
(or
unless
they’re
safely
backed
up
in
some
other Library).
5.5.7.3
Preset Menu
The functions of the Clear Preset and Rename Preset commands should be self-‐explanatory.
When
you
choose
Clone
Preset
From,
you’ll
see
a
submenu
showing
the
Presets
in
all
of
the
Banks
in
the
current
Library.
Choose
the
Preset
you
would
like
to
use
as
the
source
for
the
clone
operation.
It
will
be
copied
into
the
current
Preset.
This
operation
will
overwrite
the
data
in
the
current
Preset.
However,
any
plugins
that
may
have
been
used
in
the
current
Preset
will
still
be
available;
they
won’t
be
deleted.
You’ll
note
that
there
is
no
New
Preset
command.
To
start
working
on
a
new
Preset,
click
the
right
arrow
button
in
the
second
row
of
the
virtual
V-‐Machine’s
display
pane.
Click
it
one
or
more
times,
until
you
reach
a
new,
empty
Preset,
then
start
adding
plugins
to
the
preset.
(Be
sure
to
save
it
after
creating
it.)
5.5.7.4
Plugin Menu
The
License
Plugin
for
V-‐MACHINE...
command
is
located
in
the
Plugin
menu.
If
the
currently
selected
plugin

one
whose
parameters

of
