Hi
I am new to VCV.
And I am looking for a way to import and export groups of modules to use them as template groups in patches? I know, there is a start template, but that is not what I mean, and loading a saved patch will delete everything on the screen.

Sorry, what is the expander-mechanism?

A way the module works, by placing it next to another module, just read this and you will understand :
# stoermelder STRIP
STRIP is a module for managing a strip of modules. A "strip" is a group of modules formed in a single row of Rack without any empty spaces between them, directly next to STRIP on the left or right side. STRIP provides functionality to disable, to randomize and to save or load strips of modules. Copy and paste is possible, too.
![STRIP Intro](./Strip-intro.gif)
STRIP uses Rack v1's expander-mechanism to traverse the modules in a group. Changing the modules in a strip is simply moving them a bit in Rack and creating an empty space between the rest of the modules.
## MODE
STRIP can be configured which modules will be considered as managed. By default STRIP handles all modules left and right of itself, but the _MODE_-button allows you to toggle to left-only or right-only. Which modules are affected is shown by the triangle-shaped LEDs on the panel.
## ON, OFF, RAND
The sections _ON_, _OFF_ and _RAND_ provide CV control of options only available in the context menu of modules: _ON_ and _OFF_ triggers "Disable" with different modes, _RAND_ triggers "Randomize".
**Disclaimer: Please keep in mind that both functions "Disable" and "Randomize" were not designed to be controlled by CV or modulated at audio rate. Please do not contact the developers of Rack or any modules if unexpected behavior occurs or high CPU usage is noticeable.**
