As with inputs, your output busses can also be mono or stereo. The example above shows one 
stereo output bus which will be the typical setup when using UGM96. Under 

Device Port

 you can 

assign the physical hardware output channel to each channel of each bus. The two stereo headphone 
outputs of UGM96 will both send out the same signal from Cubase LE 4 as assigned in this dialog. 

You can now start using Cubase LE 4 by opening an existing project or creating a new project. The 
input and output busses you have created can be assigned to the individual tracks of your project. 

5.5 Installation of Studio Devil Virtual Guitar Amp 

UGM96 ships with the Studio Devil Virtual Guitar Amp from Gallo Engineering. If you are not 
using this virtual guitar amplifier plugin, you can skip this section, however we strongly 
recommend it. Studio Devil VGA is provided as VST, Audio Unit and RTAS plugin that can be 
used (not only) in Cubase LE 4. 

Installation 

To install the Studio Devil VGA, insert the Installation CD into the DVD-ROM drive of your 
computer. Under Windows, please launch the installer 

setup.exe

 from the folder 

Softwarebundle\Studio Devil\Virtual Guitar Amp\PC

. To install it under Mac OS X, open the Studio 

Devil VGA disk image file from the 

Softwarebundle\Studio Devil\Virtual Guitar Amp\Mac

 folder 

and then double click on the installer package. 

To proceed with the installation, follow all instructions on screen. Please also check the content of 
the 

readme.txt

 files in each folder. 

Initial Setup 

In most cases the installation folders will be automatically recognized by each plugin host 
application. In some cases, you will need to add the appropriate folder to your host application’s list 
of plugin folders. Consult the documentation of your host application for instructions on how to do 
this, if necessary. You can find more information about usage with Cubase LE 4 in section 6.2 of 
this manual. 

Activation 

Before you can use Studio Devil VGA, you need to activate it by getting a 

LICENSE KEY

. You are 

entitled to install and activate this software as many times as needed, but you are limited to using it 
on one machine at a time. If you plan on using this software on multiple machines at the same time, 
you might need to purchase additional serial numbers. Please check the Studio Devil website for 
more information. 

When you load Studio Devil VGA inside a host software (see sections 6.2 and 6.3 for more 
information), it will run in 

DEMO MODE

 and you will see the screen on the left below. Click 

Activate

 and the dialog on the right will appear:
