I was looking for that feature - but I didn't find it! Couldn't really believe that this basic function isn't there.
i.e. setting up an instance for VL1 (incl eq/fx/channels), copy/paste it and replace VL1 with VL2.
Would be faster and easier than saving and re-loading the channel strips or instances.
So it's part of my (short) wish list :-)
Thanks for reading!
