switch
to
a
different
Preset.
Because
of
this,
it
would
make
no
sense
for
the
program
change
message
to
then
be
passed
on
to
the
plugins;
the
programs
they
will
use
will
already
be
set
up
by
the
Preset.
If
the
Mixer’s
MIDI
channel
is
set
to
ALL,
this
means
that
no
program
change
messages
will
ever
be
sent
on
to
the
plugins.
In
consequence,
if
the
Global
System
Settings
menu
option
MIDI
Options:
Send
Program
Change
is
set
to
“to
Preset,
then
Plugins,”
this
setting
will
have
no
effect
when
the
Mixer
channel
is
set
to
ALL.
5.9 Parameter
Pane
The
Parameter
Pane
is
designed
to
display
the
editable
parameters
of
the
currently
selected
plugin.
It
provides
two
displays.
By
default,
you’ll
see
the
parameter
grid.
This
is
a
list
of
the
plugin’s
parameters,
with
a
horizontal
slider
next
to
each
parameter
allowing
it
to
be
edited.
If
you
select
Show
VST
Editor
in
the
main
menu,
the
graphic
user
interface
of
the
selected
plugin
will
appear
in
a
floating
window
above
the
VFX
Application
window.
(In
the
Macintosh,
this
window
will
be
in
the
X11
layer
of
the
OS,
but
this
should
make
no
practical
difference
when
you’re
using
the
software.)
All
parameter
adjustments
that
you
make
in
the
user
interface
of
the
plugin
will
be
displayed
in
parameter
grid,
and
vice-­‐versa.
If
you
have
selected
the
matching
parameter
in
the
V-­‐Machine
Pane’s
Parameter
name
area,
you’ll
also
see
the
parameter
value
change
in
the
V-­‐Machine
Pane’s
Value
field.
The
left
column
of
the
parameter
grid
holds
the
Priority
buttons.
You
can
click
on
any
of
these
to
highlight
it.
Priority
parameters
will
be
moved
to
the
left
end
of
the
parameter
list
when
the
Preset
is
exported
to
the
V-­‐Machine.
This
is
extremely
useful
for
keeping
your
favorite
parameters
readily
accessible.
The
priority
parameters
for
all
of
the
plugins
in
the
Preset
will
appear
in
the
V-­‐Machine’s
parameter
list
immediately
after
(to
the
right
of)
the
patch
select
parameters.
Since
a
modern
plugin
may
have
more
than
a
hundred
parameters,
scrolling
through
them
on
the
V-­‐Machine
can
take
time,
so
get
in
the
habit
of
using
the
Priority
buttons
for
sound
controls
that
you
use
often,
such
as
filter
cutoff
and
envelope
attack
time.
5.10 VFX
Application
File
Management
The
file
management
functions
of
the
VFX
Application
are
found
in
the
File
and
Bank
areas
of
the
main
menu.
Developing
good
file
management
skills
will
enable
you
to
create
Banks
of
your
favorite
Presets
efficiently
and
without
confusion.
While
only
one
Preset
is
actually
loaded
into
the
VFX
Application
(or
into
the
V-­‐Machine)
at
a
time,
if
your
Library
contains
hundreds
of
Banks
it
will
be
harder
to
find
what
you’re
looking
for.
Naming
the
Banks
will
help,
as
will
organizing
your
sounds
into
several
smaller
Libraries
rather
than
one
large
Library.
Quick
Tip:
Creating
Banks
specifically
for
certain
performances
can
make
things
very
easy
when
synchronizing
to
the
V-­‐Machine
or
saving
the
Application
status
(Export
to
VFX
Library)
to
a
USB
drive/stick.
To
do
this,
you
would
give
each
Bank
a
suitable
name,
such
as
Club,
Wedding,
or
Concert.
A
single
Preset
could
be
saved
to
one
Bank
and
then
imported
to
other
Banks
as
needed.
If
the
source
Bank
is
in
the
same
Library,
use
the
Clone
Preset
From
command
for
this;
if
the
source
Bank
containing
the
Preset
is
in
a
different
Library,
use
the
Import
From
VFX
Library
command
in
the
File
menu.
As
a
reminder:
You
don’t
have
to
do
anything
to
save
the
current
Library.
Nor
do
you
have
to
save
a
Bank
to
the
Library.
The
Banks
and
Library
are
already
resident
on
your
hard
drive
(or
on
removable
USB
media,
if
you
have
chosen
that
location
for
your
active
Library).
However,
you
do
have
to
save
each
new
Preset
that
you
create,
using
the
SAVE
icon
in
the
upper
left
corner
of
the
main
window.
