V-‐Machine Operating Manual
To exit the Global System Settings press the keypad button adjacent to the BACK text displayed
on the LCD Panel.

Save icon
Mouse clicking the SAVE icon activates the SAVE command.
Just as on the real V-‐Machine the SAVE command saves the current Master Saved State of the
currently selected Preset. This function takes a snapshot of the current state of the Preset in its
entirety.
12.5.5
Learn icon
Mouse clicking the LEARN icon activates the LEARN command.
The LEARN command is used for assigning plugin parameters to external MIDI controllers.
This is a great way to have hands-‐on control during performances.
This function operates the same way as on the real hardware V-‐Machine:
1.
Make sure you have the plugin parameter selected that you wish to assign to an external
controller knob/fader
2.
Mouse click the LEARN icon to activate the LEARN command
3.
Move the controller knob/fader on your connected MIDI controller
The plugin parameter has now been assigned to receive MIDI control messages from your
chosen controller.
12.5.6
Panic icon
Mouse clicking the PANIC icon activates the MIDI PANIC command.
The MIDI PANIC command sends an “all notes off” MIDI command to the V-‐Machine engine.
This may be necessary to eliminate troublesome “stuck MIDI notes” as can sometimes occur
with various combinations of MIDI controllers and VSTi plugins.
12.5.7
Sync icon
Mouse clicking the SYNC icon initiates either of the following processes based on user
feedback:
1.
Synchronization via USB connection of your selection to the VFX Library on the V-‐
Machine’s internal 1 GB Flash memory. This option is only possible if you have the V-‐
Machine connected to your PC
2.
Export (or merging) of your selection to a new or existing VFX Library (non-‐active ) to
an internal or external storage media location. For example – USB memory stick or HD
For a more detailed explanation on Synchronization/Export please see section
12.10
Quick Tip
: Synchronization over USB cable does not run at full USB speed as it transfers data
using the MIDI system exclusive protocol. As such it is considerable faster to use the ‘Export to
VFX Library’ method with large data transfers.

Help icon
Mouse clicking the HELP icon opens the V-‐Machine FAQ page on the SM Pro Audio website.
