Chapter 7 Using the VG-99 Connected to a Computer Via USB
About the Included Software
In addition to the USB drivers, the included “VG-99 Software CD-
ROM” also contains special software that can be used when the VG-
99 is connected with a computer. The CD-ROM contains different
versions for use with Windows and Macintosh operating systems.
VG-99 Editor
You can use this to make settings for the VG-99 from your computer.
You can also save tone setting (patch) data you have created as files
on the computer.
VG-99 Librarian
You can manage the VG-99’s settings and patches all together using
your computer.
Driver Mode
The VG-99 features two operational modes, one which uses the
special driver contained on the included CD-ROM, and one in which
the OS’s (Windows/Mac OS) standard driver is used.
Using the specialized driver, you can record, play back, and edit
audio with high-quality sound and stable timing.
It also allows you to control the VG-99 using MIDI messages.
