SM

Audio
contains
one
or
more
Presets.
A
single
Preset
has
21
slots
for
VST
plugin
instruments
and
effects.
● A
single
plugin
may,
of
course,
have
hundreds
of
different
presets
(also
known
as
patches,
voices,
and
sound
programs),
but
these
are
meaningful
only
within
a
single
plugin,
and
should
not
be
confused
with
the
V-­‐Machine’s
Presets,
though
a
V-­‐Machine
preset
may
reference
a
plugin’s
patch(es).
● While
using
the
VFX
Application,
you
will
always
be
working
within
a
single
current
Library.
You
don’t
save
or
load
this
Library
as
you
would
an
ordinary
file
in
another
computer
program.
Instead,
you
specify
the
Library
you
want
to
use
from
within
the
Options
(Windows)
or
Preferences
(Macintosh)
dialog
box.
When
you
save
the
Preset
you’re
working
on,
it
will
automatically
be
saved
into
that
Library.
● After
creating
new
Presets,
Banks,
or
Libraries,
you’ll
naturally
want
to
send
them
to
the
V-­‐Machine.
There
are
two
ways
to
do
this:
Sync
and
Export.
When
you
use
the
Sync
icon
(the
word
SYNC)
in
the
upper
left
corner
of
the
software’s
main
window,
data
will
be
sent
from
the
computer
to
the
V-­‐Machine
over
a
USB
connection.
When
you
use
the
Export
process,
a
Library
file
will
be
saved
to
a
hard
drive
or
USB
memory
stick.
You
can
then
plug
the
memory
stick
(or
an
external
hard
drive)
into
the
V-­‐Machine.
The
V-­‐
Machine
can
load
Presets
and
Banks
from
the
Library
on
an
external
USB
memory
device.
When
loading
from
a
USB
device,
Banks
on
the
device
are
designated
by
brackets,
i.e.,
[NEW
BANK].
Names
of
Banks
in
RAM
are
not
bracketed.
Important:
If
you
need
to
install
a
new
plugin
in
the
V-­‐Machine,
exporting
is
faster.
Generally,
you
should
use
the
sync
option
only
when
the
Banks
and
Presets
you’re
sending
to
the
V-­‐
Machine
use
plugins
that
are
already
installed
in
the
hardware.
