VFX 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!

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.
