and

When
the
Solo
button
is
active,
it
glows
more
brightly.
5.8.5
Toggle
Mode
In
the
V-­‐Machine
Pane,
as
on
the
V-­‐Machine’s
LCD
itself,
you
will
see
two
Mute
and
two
Solo
parameters
–
Mute,
Mute(T),
Solo,
and
Solo(T).
The
Toggle
modes
have
no
visible
representation
in
the
Mixer
Pane
itself,
as
they
relate
strictly
to
control
of
the
Mixer’s
Mute
and
Solo
switches
from
an
external
MIDI
controller.

FX
Sends
1
&
2
The
FX
send
1
&
2
send
knobs
in
the
four
main
channels
route
the
audio
signal
to
the
FX1
&
FX2
effects
bus
slots.
The
signal
from
these
slots
is
then
returned
to
the
mix
via
the
FX1
and
FX2
return
channels.
Each
FX
bus
features
three
plugin
slots,
just
like
the
other
mixer
channels.
Click
and
hold
your
mouse
button
down
over
the
FX
send
knobs
in
the
four
channels
and
move
up
or
down
to
adjust
the
send
value
for
the
channel.
FX
sends
can
be
configured
as
either
pre-­‐
or
post-­‐fader.
By
default,
each
send
is
configured
as
post-­‐fader.
Right-­‐clicking
on
a
send
knob
(Control-­‐clicking
on
the
Mac)
will
display
the
Pre/Post
menu.
Select
either
Pre
or
Post
as
desired.
A
pre-­‐fader
output
is
independent
of
the
level
of
the
channel
fader,
and
of
the
channel’s
Mute
button.
The
FX
send
output
gain
stays
at
the
same
level
no
matter
how
the
channel
gain
fader
is
set.
A
post-­‐fader
output
depends
on
the
current
channel
gain
fader
level.
Turning
the
channel
fader
down
results
in
a
reduced
FX
send
output
signal.
Quick
Tip:
FX
sends
are
great
way
to
share
VST
plugin
effects
between
channels
and
thus
minimize
the
impact
on
the
CPU.
For
example,
this
would
be
beneficial
if
you
needed
a
similar
reverb
effect
across
a
multi-­‐channel
Preset.
By
using
one
reverb
plugin
in
the
FX
send
channel
rather
than
two
or
three
in
individual
channel
Slots,
you
reduce
the
DSP
load
on
the
CPU.

L& R
Audio
Input
Selector
(CAPS)
The
left
and
right
audio
input
selectors
can
be
enabled
to
feed
external
audio
source
material
into
Mixer
channels
for
further
processing.
Click
your
mouse
on
a
channel’s
L
or
R
audio
input
selector
icon
to
toggle
the
corresponding
channel’s
Left
or
Right
audio
input
on
or
off.
When
the
input
is
on
(active),
the
input
indicator
glows
more
brightly.
In
the
VFX
Application,
the
corresponding
channel
will
receive
audio
signals
from
the
inputs
of
the
audio
interface
specified
in
the
Options
box
(Windows)
or
in
the
Sound
Input
section
of
the
System
Preferences
(Macintosh).
After
you
have
saved
your
Preset
and
exported
or
synchronized
it
to
the
V-­‐Machine,
when
the
Preset
is
active
in
the
V-­‐Machine
audio
signals
received
at
the
V-­‐Machine’s
rear
panel
audio
input
will
be
sent
to
any
mixer
channel
in
the
current
Preset
whose
input(s)
are
active.
Note:
The
USB
connection
between
the
V-­‐Machine
and
the
computer
does
not
transmit
audio
data.
As
a
result,
signals
patched
into
the
rear-­‐panel
audio
input
of
the
V-­‐Machine
cannot
be
processed
by
a
Preset
while
the
Preset
is
running
in
the
VFX
Application
software.
Quick
Tip:
Unless
you’re
using
the
Preset
to
process
external
audio,
make
sure
the
audio
inputs
