Thanks George. I was hoping to convert on an individual-patch-basis when I
determine that I need to make a one-off change to a regularly used Virtual
Macro… Guess I have to choose Edit Patch… in Patch Library window's menu and
select-all, copy, paste, make macro, rewire noodles from old patch. Or use
flatten if that suits the situation.
Strange the Release Notes reference to default behaviour ("By default, macros
added…") when there doesn't seem to be any other behaviour available. Unless
it's a nod to the fact that, as you indicated, Clips can be added to Library.
Although I haven't been able to confirm that one.
I tried copying my Clips from OLD_HD/Library/Application
Support/Apple/Developer Tools/Quartz Composer/Clips to
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Apple/Developer Tools/Quartz
Composer/Clips (which already had 4 clips that must have been migrated from
somewhere the BCM2000 ones (Behringer) but none of these clips are appearing in
QC's Library after a reboot of QC… :-\
The machine does not isolate man from the great problems of nature but plunges
him more deeply into them.
