for
all
channels
are
disabled.
5.8.8
FX1
&
FX2
Channels
The
FX1
and
FX2
return
channels
are
provided
to
return
signal
to
the
Mixer
that
you
have
sent
through
the
FX
bus
plugin
slots.
The
Mute,
Solo,
gain,
and
pan
controls
on
these
channels
function
like
those
on
the
other
channels.
Note
that
you
can
insert
VST
instruments
into
the
FX1
and
FX2
channels
if
desired.
These
channels
receive
MIDI
inputs,
and
can
be
used
for
additional
layering
of
instruments.
However,
if
you
configure
a
Preset
in
this
manner,
you
will
no
longer
be
able
to
use
the
FX
channel
as
a
send.
5.8.9
Main
Stereo
Output
Channel
A
Main
channel
gain
control
is
available
for
adjusting
the
master
volume
of
the
configured
Preset.
The
Main
channel
is
the
last
stage
in
the
audio
routing
structure.
It
outputs
the
sum
of
the
mixed
audio
signals.
The
Main
channel
features
three
plugin
slots.
Main
plugin
slots
are
well
suited
to
effects
such
as
equalizers
and
limiters,
which
can
add
some
polish
to
the
final
sound
of
your
Preset.
A
limiter
can
also
help
prevent
clipping
in
the
output
of
the
V-­‐Machine.
The
gain
and
pan
controls
in
the
Main
channel
operate
exactly
like
those
in
the
other
Mixer
channels.
5.8.10 BPM
Control
Using
the
BPM
control
above
the
master
fader,
you
can
set
the
tempo
of
the
VFX
Application’s
internal
MIDI
clock.
This
tempo
will
be
used
by
any
plugin
that
can
respond
to
external
tempo
sync.
For
it
to
work,
the
tempo
sync
must
be
switched
on
in
the
plugin.
(See
the
plugin’s
manual
for
details.)
This
field
corresponds
to
the
Tempo
parameter
in
the
Preset.
To
see
the
Tempo
parameter,
scroll
the
parameter
field
in
the
V-­‐Machine
(either
the
hardware
unit
or
the
V-­‐Machine
Pane
in
the
software)
almost
all
the
way
to
the
left.
5.8.11 Time
Signature
A
few
plugins
that
have
tempo-­‐based
features
(such
as
LFOs
that
can
be
synced
to
MIDI
clock
messages)
may
also
be
able
to
request
the
time
signature
of
the
host.
The
V-­‐Machine’s
Mixer
provides
a
time
signature
parameter
for
this
purpose.
You
can
set
the
denominator
of
the
time
signature
(the
lower
number)
to
2,
4,
8,
or
16
and
the
numerator
(the
upper
number)
to
any
number
between
1
and
32,
depending
on
the
meter
of
your
song,
5.8.12 Master
MIDI
Channel
The
MIDI
Channel
setting
in
the
Mixer
controls
the
channel(s)
on
which
the
Mixer
will
respond
to
MIDI
control
messages.
This
parameter
is
available
only
in
the
VFX
Application;
it
cannot
be
set
from
the
V-­‐Machine’s
panel.
Normally
the
Mixer
MIDI
channel
can
be
left
set
to
ALL.
There
might
be
a
specific
situation,
however,
in
which
you
would
need
to
set
the
Mixer
to
respond
on
a
particular
channel
so
that
you
can
re-­‐use
the
same
CC
messages
on
different
channels
for
other
purposes.
(This
is
especially
likely
to
happen
if
your
hardware
controller
has
only
one
CC
source,
such
as
a
mod
wheel,
with
which
to
send
these
messages.)
Program
change
messages
that
arrive
on
the
Mixer’s
channel
will
be
used
by
the
Mixer
to
