main
Library
is
unavailable.
For
example,
if
you
disconnect
the
thumb
drive
that
stores
the
active
Library,
the
VFX
Application
will
revert
back
to
the
Fallback
Library
setting.
If
you’re
in
the
middle
of
an
editing
session
when
you
disconnect
the
drive
containing
the
Primary
Library,
your
next
Save
operation
will
be
directed
to
the
Fallback
Library
instead.
To
prevent
confusion
in
file
management,
it
is
recommended
that
you
not
disconnect
a
drive
containing
the
Primary
Library
while
you’re
editing
Presets
in
the
VFX
Application.
Important
Note:
If
the
VFX
Application
is
using
the
Fallback
Library
(because
the
designated
Primary
Library
is
currently
not
available),
when
you
plug
in
the
drive
containing
the
Primary
Library,
any
edits
that
you
have
made
in
the
current
preset
may
be
lost
when
the
VFX
Application
automatically
switches
to
the
Primary
Library.
For
this
reason,
it’s
a
good
idea
to
get
in
the
habit
of
not
attaching
or
removing
drives
containing
Libraries
while
the
VFX
Application
is
running.
The
text
beside
the
word
Current
(which
is
read-­‐only,
not
editable)
shows
the
currently
active
Library
that
is
being
used
by
the
VFX
Application.
To
change
to
a
different
Library
(or
create
a
Library
in
a
different
drive
location),
click
the
Browse
button
(in
Windows,
it
shows
three
dots;
in
the
Macintosh,
you’ll
see
the
word
“Browse...”)
at
the
right
end
of
the
Primary
field.
You
can
also
type
the
location
of
a
Library
directly
in
the
Active
Library
text
field.
5.4.2
Audio
System
In
Windows
only,
you’ll
need
to
select
the
Audio
System
driver
model
and
Audio
Device
Playback
and
Capture
(input)
devices
you
would
like
the
VFX
Application
to
use.
For
the
best
possible
performance
we
recommend
selecting
the
ASIO
driver
model
if
it
is
supported
by
your
hardware.
If
you’re
using
ASIO,
the
input
device
will
always
be
the
same
as
the
output
device,
so
the
dropdown
Capture
menu
will
always
be
grayed
out.
If
you
need
a
more
flexible
audio
routing,
we
recommend
the
Asio4All
driver,
which
is
freeware,
available
for
download
from
www.asio4all.com.
If
you
choose
the
DirectX
audio
output,
you
will
not
be
able
to
use
an
audio
input
in
the
software.
In
Windows,
click
on
the
Configure
button
to
open
your
audio
interface’s
control
panel.
Your
computer’s
audio
interface
control
panel
may
offer
settings
such
as
buffer
size,
in
addition
to
its
own
mixer.
Please
refer
to
your
audio
interface
operation
manual
for
details.
In
the
MacOS,
the
audio
in
device
must
normally
be
the
same
as
the
audio
output
device.
However,
you
can
make
a
composite
audio
device
if
you
need
to,
using
the
Mac’s
aggregate
device
editor.
(For
details,
see
www.apple.com/pro/techniques/aggregateaudio/.)
5.4.3
MIDI
System
In
the
MIDI-­‐IN
box
within
the
Options
box,
click
on
the
checkboxes
corresponding
to
any
MIDI
input
devices
that
you
use.
The
MIDI
input
will
enable
you
to
play
Presets
in
the
VFX
Application
so
as
to
be
able
to
check
your
edits.
Normally
you
will
want
the
V-­‐Machine
itself
to
be
checked
in
the
MIDI-­‐IN
and
MIDI-­‐OUT
boxes,
so
that
the
VFX
Application
can
communicate
with
the
V-­‐Machine.
There
is
no
provision
to
send
MIDI
data
out
of
the
VFX
Application
other
than
to
a
connected
hardware
V-­‐Machine
over
USB,
so
there’s
no
need
to
click
the
checkbox
next
to
any
other
MIDI
interface
in
the
MIDI-­‐OUT
area.
Mac
users
will
not
need
to
select
MIDI
in
and
out
devices,
as
these
choices
will
be
handled
automatically
by
the
MacOS.
