11. Make sure that the MIDI channel field next to the plugin you’ve inserted in slot A says
“ALL.”
Play
your
keyboard.
Depending
on
the
plugin,
you
may
or
may
not
hear
a
sound:
Some
plugins
make
no
sound
until
one
of
their
presets
is
selected.
12. Go back to the main menu (Remember: Click on the small VFX icon, not on the word
MENU) and choose Show VST Editor. You should now see the plugin’s normal graphic
edit window in the right-‐hand part of the main program window.
Select or edit a patch, as desired. If you don’t hear the plugin when you play your keyboard,
check
your
audio
system
and
your
MIDI
connections.
Also
make
sure
that
none
of
the
Mute
and
Solo
buttons
(the
letters
M
and
S)
is
glowing
in
the
VFX
mixer,
and
that
the
Gain
slider
is
raised
in
the
mixer
channel
that
your
plugin
is
inserted
into.
Once
you’re
hearing
the
plugin,
you’re
ready to export it to the V-‐Machine.

Getting Started: Exporting a Plugin to the V-‐Machine
When you imported your plugin and assigned it to a mixer slot, you created a basic V-‐Machine
Preset.
V-‐Machine
presets
reside
in
a
Bank,
which
resides
in
a
Library.
Prior
to
exporting
your
Bank,
Preset,
and
plugin
to
the
V-‐Machine,
we’ll
need
to
choose
the
Library
in
which
to
store
them.
Go
back
to
the
main
menu
and
select
Options
(Windows)
or
Preferences
(Macintosh).
If
no
default
location
has
been
entered
in
the
Primary
Field
of
the
Active
Library
box,
click
the
Browse
button
(in
Windows,
the
Browse
button
may
appear
only
with
three
dots,
not
with
the
word
“Browse”)
at
the
right
end
of
this
field.
Choose
a
name
and
location
for
your
Library.
The
name
should
end
with
the
extension
.vfxlibrary.
Click
the
Close
box.
13. In the main menu, choose Preset > Rename Preset. Give your new Preset a descriptive
name.
14. From the main menu, choose File > Save Preset.
15. From the main menu, choose File > Export to VFX Library. The Export to VFX Library
box (see Figure 8) will open.
Figure 8
The Export box shows where in the active library your new Preset will be stored. If the V-Machine Bank doesn’t
