    I'm about to build viola matrices using previously assembled violin matrices as templates. But as I drag a viola patch into the cell to replace a violin, the cell settings return to a default. Though I do plan to adjust the viola cell settings by hand, the previous violin settings were a helpful starting point. 

    Can I drag new patches into a cell while preserving the old cell settings?

    With VI Pro, you may hold down [Alt] while dragging a new patch into the slot, and the settings will be preserved.

    That's what I recalled, but I forgot that it was only for the new VI Pro. So I bought it this evening. Amazing stuff. 

    Hey, am I correct that I have to rebuild VE Pro Metaframes, first loading in new VI Pro instruments, then the legacy presets? There's no way to launch a previous VE Pro metaframe, directing it to open VI Pro instances instead, right? 

    Thanks.

    You will need to convert every instance manually, by first loading up the complete metaframe, then choosing "Convert project to Vienna Instruments Pro" from the File menu on each instance, then re-save the metaframe.

    I'll see if we can include a "Convert metaframe to ViPro" function in a future update.

    Cheers
