Quick Tips:
●
After	
  Exporting	
  to	
  an	
  external	
  device,	
  you	
  can	
  browse	
  the	
  VFX	
  Library	
  from	
  your	
  
computer’s	
  operating	
  system	
  to	
  see	
  the	
  contents	
  of	
  the	
  Banks	
  and	
  Presets.	
  This	
  can	
  be	
  
useful	
  if	
  you	
  wish	
  to	
  check	
  the	
  size	
  of	
  a	
  particular	
  Bank,	
  Preset,	
  or	
  plugin.	
  This	
  
information	
  can	
  assist	
  with	
  your	
  decision	
  to	
  either	
  keep	
  files	
  on	
  the	
  memory	
  device	
  or	
  
transfer	
  to	
  the	
  internal	
  Flash	
  of	
  the	
  V-‐Machine	
  using	
  the	
  export	
  method,	
  as	
  described	
  
above.	
  
●
You can also export a Library to a location on your computer’s internal drive and then
use	
  the	
  computer’s	
  operating	
  system	
  to	
  copy	
  the	
  Library	
  to	
  external	
  media.	
  Exporting	
  
directly	
  to	
  the	
  removable	
  drive	
  or	
  memory	
  stick	
  is	
  usually	
  faster,	
  because	
  the	
  data	
  will	
  
only	
  have	
  to	
  be	
  copied	
  once	
  rather	
  than	
  twice.	
  
5.11.2 USB Synchronization Method to the V-‐Machine’s Internal Flash Memory
Clicking	
  the	
  SYNC	
  icon	
  in	
  the	
  VFX	
  Application’s	
  command	
  bar	
  (see	
  Figure	
  38)	
  initiates	
  one	
  of	
  
two	
  processes,	
  based	
  on	
  your	
  input	
  and	
  the	
  VFX	
  Application’s	
  automatic	
  detection	
  of	
  a	
  
connected	
  V-‐Machine.

●
If	
  a	
  V-‐Machine	
  is	
  connected	
  and	
  has	
  enough	
  available	
  memory	
  in	
  its	
  1GB	
  Flash	
  memory	
  
bank,	
  clicking	
  the	
  SYNC	
  button	
  will	
  cause	
  the	
  currently	
  active	
  Library	
  to	
  be	
  transmitted	
  
directly	
  to	
  the	
  V-‐Machine	
  over	
  USB	
  and	
  stored	
  in	
  Flash.	
  
●
If	
  no	
  V-‐Machine	
  is	
  connected,	
  or	
  if	
  not	
  enough	
  memory	
  is	
  available,	
  clicking	
  the	
  SYNC	
  
icon	
  initiates	
  the	
  export	
  process,	
  as	
  described	
  in	
  the	
  previous	
  section.	
  
	
  
Synchronization	
  via	
  USB	
  cable	
  allows	
  you	
  to	
  transfer	
  a	
  selection	
  (or	
  all)	
  Banks,	
  Presets,	
  plugins,	
  
and	
  associated	
  files	
  (samples	
  and	
  configuration	
  files)	
  to	
  the	
  V-‐Machine’s	
  1GB	
  internal	
  Flash	
  
memory.	
  It	
  is	
  possible	
  to	
  synchronize	
  or	
  Export	
  Banks	
  and	
  Presets	
  individually,	
  or	
  the	
  entire	
  
VFX	
  Library	
  at	
  one	
  time.	
  
Choose the items you would like to transmit to the V-‐Machine from the Synchronize dialog box
(see	
  Figure	
  39),	
  click	
  the	
  Sync	
  button,	
  then	
  click	
  Sync	
  again	
  in	
  the	
  pop-‐up	
  confirmation	
  box.
