● Click
the
LEARN
icon
to
activate
the
Learn
command.
● Move
the
controller
knob/fader
on
your
connected
MIDI
controller.
The
plugin
parameter
has
now
been
assigned
to
receive
MIDI
control
messages
from
your
chosen
controller.
If
you
want
to
remove
an
active
MIDI
routing,
choose
the
parameter
that
is
being
controlled
via
MIDI,
click
the
LEARN
icon,
and
then
click
the
arrow
next
to
the
word
“Unlearn.”
5.6.5
Panic
Icon
Mouse
clicking
the
PANIC
icon
activates
the
MIDI
Panic
command.
The
MIDI
Panic
command
sends
an
all-­‐notes-­‐off
MIDI
command
to
the
plugins
in
the
current
Preset.
This
may
be
necessary
to
eliminate
troublesome
stuck
MIDI
notes,
as
can
occasionally
happen
with
various
combinations
of
MIDI
controllers
and
VSTi
plugins.
5.6.6
Sync
Icon
Clicking
the
SYNC
icon
initiates
one
of
two
processes.
If
you
have
a
V-­‐Machine
connected
to
your
computer
and
turned
on,
the
V-­‐Machine’s
memory
will
be
synchronized
with
the
VFX
Application’s
active
Library.
If
no
V-­‐Machine
is
detected,
clicking
the
SYNC
icon
activates
the
Export
process
instead.
Exporting
is
faster
than
synchronizing
if
you
need
to
load
a
plugin
and
its
associated
files
into
the
V-­‐Machine.
However,
if
all
of
the
required
plugins
are
already
resident
in
the
V-­‐Machine,
synchronizing
is
fast
—
just
uncheck
the
With
Plugins
box
in
the
Sync
dialog
box.
Synchronizing
with
plugins
requires
that
the
entire
contents
of
a
Preset,
Bank,
or
Library
be
sent
to
the
V-­‐Machine
over
USB
using
the
MIDI
system-­‐exclusive
data
protocol.
This
type
of
data
transmission
can
be
quite
slow
with
large
plugins,
especially
those
that
include
samples.
A
dialog
box
will
open
and
show
a
tree
structure
outlining
the
contents
of
the
current
Library.
You
can
choose
whatever
object(s)
you
would
like
to
send
to
the
V-­‐Machine.
They
will
be
stored
in
the
V-­‐Machine’s
internal
Flash
memory,
and
can
then
be
loaded
into
the
V-­‐Machine’s
RAM
to
be
played.
Before
the
Sync
process
starts,
you’ll
see
another
dialog
box,
which
gives
an
estimate
of
the
amount
of
time
required
and
asks
if
you’d
like
to
export
instead.
Depending
on
various
factors,
this
estimate
may
not
be
entirely
accurate.
To
proceed
with
synchronization,
click
the
Sync
button
in
this
box.
If
you
choose
to
export
instead
of
syncing,
a
file
dialog
box
will
open.
Choose
a
location
for
the
exported
Library.

Help
Icon
Clicking
the
HELP
icon
opens
the
V-­‐Machine
FAQ
page
on
the
SM
Pro
Audio
website.
5.7 Plugin
Pane
The
Plugin
Pane
(see
Figure
4.9)
has
21
slots
in
which
you
can
insert
and
configure
plugins
for
use
in
your
Presets.
A
single
Preset
can
make
use
of
up
to
21
plugins.
At
any
given
time,
one
of
the
plugins
will
be
active
for
editing.
You’ll
see
the
parameter
list
of
the
currently
active
plugin,
or
its
graphic
front
panel
if
you
have
used
the
Show
VST
Editor
command
in
the
menu
(see
Figure
30).
To
make
a
plugin
active,
click
on
its
slot.
(Note
that
this
use
of
the
word
“active”
doesn’t
refer
to
the
question
of
whether
the
plugin
can
create
or
process
audio.
Many
plugins
