Installing plug-in effects in the V Studio
VS plug-in programs for the VS8F-3 are provided on a SETUP DISC, and thus cannot be
used by the VS8F-3 without installation to the hard disk.
Before you can use a VS plug-in program, you must write it into the internal hard disk of
your VS series unit. This process is referred to as “installing a VS plug-in program.”
■
Authorized and Trial versions
The installed VS plug-in programs come in two forms: an Authorized version and a Trial
version.
The version that is installed depends on what you select during installation, or on the state
of the SETUP DISC you use.
An authorized version lets you use the full functionality of the VS plug-in program, while
a trial version imposes several limitations on use.
Authorized version
A VS plug-in program installed as an authorized version lets you use the full functionality
of the program.
To install the authorized version, use a SETUP DISC that has not yet been used for
authorization, and select “AUTHORIZE” during the installation.
When the authorized version is installed, data describing the combination of the VS8F-3
(Key Card) installed in the first effect slot
(
and the VS plug-in program is stored to
the hard disk of V Studio along with the installed program. This means that in order to use
an authorized VS plug-in program, you must use it in conjunction with the Key Card
VS8F-3. If the Key Card is not installed, the functions of effects programs will be limited
as with the trial version, described below.
Trial version
A VS plug-in program installed as a trial version can be used with several limitations.
The program will be installed as a trial version in the following cases.
•
When you are using a SETUP DISC that has not yet been used for authorization and you
select “TRIAL” during the installation.
•
In case you are installing effect programs on a V Studio without a Key Card from a
SETUP DISC after authorization or from a backup of a SETUP DISC.
Trial versions have the following limitations.
•
Plug-in effect parameters are not saved when you execute Store Current Project on
your VS series unit.
•
User patches cannot be saved.
•
The audio output from VS series will be muted at regular intervals.
•
The popup message of “You are using trial version” is displayed at regular
intervals.
Using the following methods, you can avoid the muting and popup message.
•
Uninstall the VS plug-in program trial version
•
Reload the current project
•
Press [F4 (UnSel)] in PLUG-IN SELECT screen
In both of the above cases, the VS8F-3 will be set to NO PLUG-IN status (no plug in
program is loaded).
If you're using the
VS-2480CD/2400CD/2000,
you can install your
system using the internal
CD-R/RW drive. If you're
using the VS-2480HD (the
model without an installed
CD-R/RW drive), you will
need an external SCSI
CD-RW drive for the
installation, such as the
VS-CDR-II/-III or a
compatible Plextor CD
drive. The VS-CDR-I can
not be used for this
installation.
An already-authorized
SETUP DISC cannot be
used to install an
authorized version for a
different VS8F-3 board.
