function ON and OFF. When the Solo button is active, it glows more brightly.
5.8.5 Toggle Mode
In the V-‐Machine Pane, as on the V-‐Machine’s LCD itself, you will see two Mute and two Solo
parameters
–
Mute,
Mute(T),
Solo,
and
Solo(T).
The
Toggle
modes
have
no
visible
representation
in
the
Mixer
Pane
itself,
as
they
relate
strictly
to
control
of
the
Mixer’s
Mute
and
Solo switches from an external MIDI controller.
5.8.6 FX Sends 1 & 2
The FX send 1 & 2 send knobs in the four main channels route the audio signal to the FX1 &
FX2
effects
bus
slots.
The
signal
from
these
slots
is
then
returned
to
the
mix
via
the
FX1
and
FX2
return
channels.
Each
FX
bus
features
three
plugin
slots,
just
like
the
other
mixer
channels.
Click
and
hold
your
mouse
button
down
over
the
FX
send
knobs
in
the
four
channels
and
move
up
or
down
to
adjust
the
send
value
for
the
channel.
FX
sends
can
be
configured
as
either
pre-‐
or
post-‐fader.
By
default,
each
send
is
configured
as
post-‐fader.
Right-‐clicking
on
a
send
knob
(Control-‐clicking
on
the
Mac)
will
display
the
Pre/Post menu. Select either Pre or Post as desired.
A pre-‐fader output is independent of the level of the channel fader, and of the channel’s Mute
button.
The
FX
send
output
gain
stays
at
the
same
level
no
matter
how
the
channel
gain
fader
is
set.
A
post-‐fader
output
depends
on
the
current
channel
gain
fader
level.
Turning
the
channel
fader
down
results
in
a
reduced
FX
send
output
signal.
Quick
Tip:
FX
sends
are
great
way
to
share
VST
plugin
effects
between
channels
and
thus
minimize
the
impact
on
the
CPU.
For
example,
this
would
be
beneficial
if
you
needed
a
similar
reverb
effect
across
a
multi-‐channel
Preset.
By
using
one
reverb
plugin
in
the
FX
send
channel
rather
than
two
or
three
in
individual
channel
Slots,
you
reduce
the
DSP
load
on
the
CPU.
5.8.7
L&
R Audio Input Selector (CAPS)
The
left
and
right
audio
input
selectors
can
be
enabled
to
feed
external
audio
source
material
into
Mixer
channels
for
further
processing.
Click
your
mouse
on
a
channel’s
L
or
R
audio
input
selector
icon
to
toggle
the
corresponding
channel’s
Left
or
Right
audio
input
on
or
off.
When
the
input
is
on
(active),
the
input
indicator
glows more brightly.
In the VFX Application, the corresponding channel will receive audio signals from the inputs of
the
audio
interface
specified
in
the
Options
box
(Windows)
or
in
the
Sound
Input
section
of
the
System
Preferences
(Macintosh).
After
you
have
saved
your
Preset
and
exported
or
synchronized
it
to
the
V-‐Machine,
when
the
Preset
is
active
in
the
V-‐Machine
audio
signals
received
at
the
V-‐Machine’s
rear
panel
audio
input
will
be
sent
to
any
mixer
channel
in
the
current
Preset
whose
input(s)
are
active.
Note: The USB connection between the V-‐Machine and the computer does not transmit audio
data.
As
a
result,
signals
patched
into
the
rear-‐panel
audio
input
of
the
V-‐Machine
cannot
be
processed
by
a
Preset
while
the
Preset
is
running
in
the
VFX
Application
software.
Quick Tip: Unless you’re using the Preset to process external audio, make sure the audio inputs
