Dumb PC Question...

[tomhartman]

Hey guys, please don't laugh, as I'm primarily a Mac user who has PC just to run Giga for VSL.

I'd like to copy some patches like the VLNS LEG 14 so I can load two instances of the patch, naming the second one something else, but....and don't laugh now....how do you make a copy of the patch on a PC? I've gone to "MY COMPUTER" and found the file itself, but can't find a menu command to COPY the patch. On the Mac I would just hold the option key and drag to make a copy.

Thanks!

Tom

Tom,

why do you want to load two instances of the same instrument?
You don't have to do that with Gigastudio (it's only necessary on the EXS version).
You can add a loaded instrument without a problem on two different midichannels.

Anyway, to make copies on the desktop just use the keyboard shortcuts:
ctrl+c for copy
ctrl+v for paste

or simply use the edit menu of any folder window.

Thanks Herb....well, I must have misunderstood one of the posts up here at one point, I thought you couldn't have, say, two instances of the same patch using Perf Tool ....I'm want to play harmony lines on the legato VLNs....yes, I guess I missed the EXS part! Live and learn[;)]

Actually, you can just hold Ctrl while dragging the icon. See? PCs aren't inferior! [[;)]]
