What is a VS plug-in?
VS plug-in is the brand new concept that provides a standardized open-platform
development environment for plug-in effects.
Products (plug-in packages) that conform to this standard
bear the logo shown at the right (above).
Plug-ins that conform to this standard and are
manufactured by software developers other than Roland
bear the logo shown at the right (below), indicating that the
plug-in has been certified by Roland as a compatible VS plug-in.
Products bearing either of these logos are guaranteed to work correctly on the VS8F-3.

What are plug-ins?
Switching between various
effect programs written
specifically for the VS8F-3
allows the VS8F-3 to
produce different effects.
These programs are called
“plug-ins” since you use
them just as though you
were “plugging-in” the
particular effect you want
to use.
Please place the Key Card
sticker on the VS8F-3 that
is designated as the Key
Card (To learn about the
Key Card, please refer p.
9). When you've installed a
VS8F-3 and verified the V
Studio's operating system
software, affix the plug-in
sticker to the V Studio to
signify that the unit is now
plug-in ready.
