V-‐Machine Operating Manual
10.3.1.7
Menu – Export
It is possible to Export VFX Library components from the V-‐Machine’s internal memory. The
following options are provided: Bank, Bank + Plugins, All Banks, All Banks + Plugins
Exporting is only possible on the V-‐Machine when you have a USB memory device connected.
The V-‐Machine will export your selection to a VFX Library with the name ‘V-‐
MACHINE.vfxlibrary’ to the top directory on your USB memory device.
10.3.1.8
Menu – Delete
The Delete function on the V-‐Machine hardware only deletes Library components stored on the
1 GB internal memory. It does not delete Libraries or Library components stored on external
USB connected media.
The Delete Menu allows you to delete Preset, Banks, All Banks, or All Banks + Plugins.
Use the Next/Previous keypad buttons to select the desired Library component to delete.
It is important to understand what is actually deleted. For example, deleting a Preset only
deletes the Preset information, not the associated plug-‐in. This is because there maybe another
Preset that uses the same plug-‐in!
Delete Preset
– This option deletes the currently selected Preset information only. All
associated plug-‐ins used in the Preset remain for use with other Presets.
Delete Bank
– This option deletes the currently selected Bank and all Presets within. All
associated plug-‐ins used in the Presets remain for use with other Presets in other Banks.
Delete All Banks
– This option deletes all Banks and all Presets. All associated plug-‐ins used in
the Preset remain ready for use when new Banks and Presets are loaded.
Delete All Banks + Plugins
– This option completely clears the V-‐Machine internal storage. All
Banks, Presets, and Plug-‐ins are deleted. This is essentially a complete format of the
V-‐Machine’s internal memory.
Pay due consideration to what you delete, as you might lose a great sound forever!
10.3.1.9
Menu – Delete Plugins
The delete plug-‐in option allows for selection and deletion of plug-‐ins from the V-‐Machine’s
internal flash memory.
Use the Next/Previous keypad buttons adjacent to the “
Plugin
Name
” label to select the desired
plug-‐in for deletion. Once selected, press the keypad button adjacent to the “
Delete
” label, and
confirm by pressing the keypad button adjacent to the “
OK
” label.
Quick Tip
: If you have enough memory available in either internal or external flash storage
locations, it’s can be very convenient leave plugins there. Often many of your presets will use
the same plug-‐in, so it doesn’t make sense to continually transfer or delete the actual plug-‐in
(and associated files, samples, etc.) as you make new Presets. Synchronizing (or importing) a
new Preset to the V-‐Machine from the PC is much faster if the plug-‐in information is already
