An
operational
overview
of
the
V-­Machine.
Hardware
connections
can
be
made
as
shown
in
the
lower
area.
While
loading
software
plugins

2.3 The
V-­‐Machine
Hardware
The
V-­‐Machine
hardware
is
a
stand-­‐alone
MIDI
sound
module,
with
MIDI
inputs
ready
to
receive
control
signals
from
your
keyboard
and
audio
outputs
that
you’ll
connect
to
a
mixer
or
P.A.
system.
Traditional
MIDI
sound
modules
can
do
only
one
type
of
synthesis
(such
as
sample
playback,
analog
modeling,
or
FM).
The
V-­‐Machine
is
different.
Rather
than
being
dedicated
to
one
type
of
synthesis,
it
hosts
plugin
instruments
(sometimes
called
VSTi’s)
and
effects
created
by
numerous
manufacturers
in
the
VST
format.
Based
on
the
recently
developed
Powered
by
VFX
embedded
technology
platform
developed
by
VFX
Systems
Pty
Ltd,
Melbourne,
Australia,
the
V-­‐Machine
is
an
extremely
versatile
musical
instrument.
By
its
very
nature
it
can
adapt
with
the
push
of
a
button,
transforming
from
a
