SM
Pro
Audio
USB
memory
devices
can
be
hot-­‐swapped
to
the
V-­‐Machine’s
USB
ports
at
any
time
after
the
V-­‐
Machine
has
successfully
completed
its
boot
process.
USB
power
enables
use
with
small
portable
USB
2
hard
drives
(tested
up
to
250GB).
The
V-­‐Machine
does
not
distinguish
between
VFX
Banks
that
are
stored
in
its
internal
Flash
memory
and
those
stored
on
external
USB
media
devices.
Any
VFX
Libraries
found
either
internally
or
externally
are
merged
into
one
VFX
Library
file
as
far
as
the
V-­‐Machine
is
concerned.
The
only
exception
to
this
rule
is
when
operating
the
Delete
function,
which
can
only
be
used
to
remove
items
from
the
internal
Flash
memory
of
the
V-­‐Machine.
To
delete
items
from
an
external
Library,
connect
the
drive
or
memory
stick
containing
the
Library
to
your
computer,
and
use
your
computer’s
operating
system
to
manage
the
Library
folder.
Once
a
USB
device
has
automatically
mounted
on
the
V-­‐Machine,
any
Banks,
Presets,
and
plugins
present
in
its
Libraries
will
be
made
available
for
musical
use.
Scroll
through
the
Banks
on
the
V-­‐Machine
as
usual
to
discover
the
newly
available
Banks.
All
Banks
accessed
from
external
memory
devices
will
be
displayed
on
the
V-­‐Machine’s
LCD
Panel
surrounded
by
brackets.
For
example,
a
Bank
named
Pianos
will
be
displayed
as
[Pianos]
on
the
LCD.
Important
Tip!
–
Always
safely
remove
USB
memory
devices
from
your
host
computer
to
avoid
corruption
of
VFX
libraries.
A
corrupted
library
will
not
work
successfully
on
the
V-­‐Machine.
3.8.1
Importing
a
Bank
from
USB
Media
to
the
Internal
Flash
Memory
It
is
possible
to
import
Banks
from
VFX
Libraries
stored
on
USB
memory
devices
to
the
V-­‐Machine’s
internal
Flash
memory.
This
is
useful
if
you
have
some
favorite
Presets
that
you
would
like
to
be
available
at
all
times
in
the
V-­‐Machine
after
boot-­‐up.
The
main
limitation
to
be
aware
of
is
that
the
files
you
import
cannot
exceed
the
1GB
size
of
the
Flash
memory.
To
import
a
Bank
from
a
connected
USB
memory
device:
1. Select
the
Bank
in
the
LCD.
(Its
name
will
be
surrounded
by
brackets.)
2. Enter
the
Global
System
Settings
Menu
by
pressing
the
two
Menu
buttons
together.
3. Use
the
left/right
arrow
buttons
in
the
top
row
to
scroll
to
the
Menu:
Import
option.
4. Choose
Bank,
Bank
+
Plugins,
All
Banks,
or
All
Banks
+
Plugins
using
the
left/right
arrows
in
the
second
row.
5. Press
the
button
beside
the
word
Import
to
import
the
item(s),
or
the
button
beside
the
word
Back
to
cancel
the
operation.
The
item(s)
you
have
chosen
will
be
transferred
to
the
V-­‐Machine’s
internal
flash
memory
and
merged
into
the
V-­‐Machine’s
internal
VFX
Library.
If
you
do
not
have
enough
memory
available
on
the
internal
Flash
memory
to
import
the
selected
Bank,
the
import
operation
will
not
take
place.
3.9 Updating
the
Firmware
From
time
to
time,
SM
Pro
Audio
may
release
a
newer
version
of
the
V-­‐Machine
operating
system
(its
firmware).
If
your
software
installation
(the
VFX
Application)
is
up
to
date,
when
you
turn
on
the
V-­‐Machine
while
the
VFX
Application
is
running
or
launch
the
Application
while
the
V-­‐Machine
is
connected,
the
VFX
Application
will
detect
that
your
firmware
is
out
of
date
and
request
to
update
it.
When
the
VFX
Application
detects
that
the
firmware
needs
to
be
updated,
you
will
see
a
dialog
box
that
provides
instructions.
