Host Software
The
SM Pro Audio V-Machine ships with a control configuration software
compatible with Windows and Mac OS X and Linux (future support). Users can
load up their favorite VST/VSTi plugins* on their computer for auditioning,
sound-set creation, and bank/preset memory assignment prior to transferring
to one of the V-products for stand-alone use. Simple intuitive software
makes sound and effect creation a breeze. Transferring your plugins to the
V-Machine, couldn't be easier: A USB transfer to the hardware units (via USB
cable, USB stick, or USB harddrive) takes care of all required user data,
memories, and of course plugin transfer. Once in the main unit... you have
freed your plugins from the computer and have instant immediate access to
your instrument and effect sound creations on a dedicated hardware unit.
The
V-Machine has banks, presets and channels. In each bank you run presets and
within one preset you can have up to four channels and up to two fx
channels. Each channel can load up to three plug ins and each fx channels
also has three plugin slots. Even the master channel can hold up to three
plugins so you can run up to 21 plugins in each preset! With a mouse click
you can switch to the controller mode, where you can assign all parameters
of the plugin/s.
Now
you can play a lot of your favorite Windows plugins* on Mac!
V-Machine:
Hardware VST PlugIn Player
Free
your virtual instruments and effects!
• Live on stage: Play your VST plugins like real hardware
• In the studio: Save CPU power of your computer
• For DJ’s: Spice up your mixes with unique effects
The
V-Machine is a compact VST/VSTi hardware playback module built for
performance keyboard players and DJ's.
It is one
little beast that can't be underestimated once loaded up with your favorite
VST instrument* and effect plugins*. Take your plugins on the road or into
the studio and access them live without a computer. Multiple plugins can be
pre-loaded into bank/preset memories for immediate access. Combine VST and
VSTi plugins into chains, splits, and layers to create extremely rich and
unique sounds. Full external MIDI controller support allows users access to
available loaded plugin parameter controls such as virtual dials, switches,
and faders.
V-Machine
– unlimited possibilities for keyboarder and DJ's!
The
V-Machine runs on the Powered by VFX platform developed by VFX Systems Pty
Ltd, Melbourne Australia.
The Powered by VFX platform is a software framework designed to provide
robust audio media support in embedded devices. Built on a modern operating
system core, the Powered by VFX platform is a dedicated lightweight solution
offering extremely low overheads in comparison to traditional computer based
solutions. The result is a robust powerful platform well suited for the high
performance requirements of low latency audio hardware devices. Built in
support for leading audio processing technologies such as Steinberg’s
renowned VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plug-in format means dedicated
hardware units can take advantage of the benefits of computer audio plug-in
technology.
What are Wizard Files?
Many VST plugins only require a VST format .dll file
as our Plug-ins (except ElectriKeys). This is fine for many installations. Other plugins are much more detailed and require additional supporting files such as samples, Windows registry entries, preset files, etc.
such is the case of ElectriKeys that
contains a dat to run with the dll file.
The VFX Application only knows how to install these more detailed plugins via a plugin information wizard file (vfxinfo.txt). Each plugin information wizard file provides information to the V-Machine such as what files to transfer during
synchronization to the V-Machine.
In the case of ElectriKeys
you can request us by email the
appropriate wizard file.
