5.4.1
Active
Library
As
you’re
creating
Presets,
Banks,
and
entire
Libraries
in
the
VFX
Application,
the
program
needs
to
know
where
your
creations
should
be
stored.
Each
time
you
click
the
SAVE
button/icon
in
the
top
left
command
bar,
the
Preset
you’re
editing
is
saved
to
the
currently
active
Library
file.
Instead
of
using
a
Save
As...
command
of
the
type
found
in
most
computer
software,
to
save
to
a
different
location
you’ll
open
the
Options
(Windows)
or
Preferences
(Macintosh)
box
and
select
a
different
Library
as
the
Primary
library,
or
create
a
new
Library
by
entering
a
new
filename
in
the
Select
Primary
VFX
Library
file
dialog
box.
This
is
actually
a
folder
name,
not
a
filename,
but
you
don’t
need
to
worry
about
this,
because
there’s
usually
little
reason
for
you
to
open
a
Library
folder
and
tinker
with
its
contents.
When
the
VFX
Application
is
installed
in
Windows,
a
default
VFX
Library
is
created
as
the
following
directory:
C:\Documents
and
Settings\[Username]\My
Documents\My
Music\VFX
Library.vfxlibrary.
(Macintosh
users
will
find
it
created
as
/Users/[Username]/Music/V-­‐
MACHINE
Library.vfxlibrary.)
Unless
you
switch
to
a
different
Library,
this
is
where
your
edits
will
be
stored.
It
can
be
desirable
to
change
the
current
active
working
Library
for
many
reasons.
For
example,
you
may
wish
to
work
directly
on
a
small
USB
thumb
drive
Library
file
rather
than
working
on
a
Library
located
on
your
internal
hard
drive.
Simply
change
the
Primary
setting
in
the
top
line
under
Active
Library
in
the
Options/Preferences
box,
and
the
VFX
Application
will
use
the
specified
drive
and
Library.
The
VFX
Application’s
Options/Preferences
box
offers
the
choice
of
Primary
and
Fallback
Libraries.
The
Fallback
Library
option
tells
the
VFX
Application
which
Library
to
use
when
the
