    Cloning an Effect

    When starting to create a new effect it is often helpful to work from an existing one. In the EX9.Effect node category you can find the Template (EX9.Effect) which is such a good starting point (but you can also start from any other effect in the category).

    • hover the effect in the NodeBrowser
    • press CTRLEnter or CTRL+Click to clone it
    • specify a name
    • if your patch is not yet saved you'll also have to specify a path for the cloned effect to be copied to
    • rightlclick the newly created node in order to edit its code
