Software

All SM Pro Audio V-Machines ship with a control configuration software compatible with Windows, Mac OS X and Linux (future support). Users can load up their favorite VST/VSTi plug-ins 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 plug-ins to the V-Box, couldn't be easier: A speedy USB transfer to the hardware units (via USB cable, USB stick, or USB hard drive) takes care of all required user data, memories, and plug-in transfer. Once in the central unit... you have freed your plug-ins from the computer and have instant immediate access to your instrument and effect sound creations on a dedicated hardware unit.

In each software bank, you can run unlimited presets; 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 channel has three plug-in slots. Even the master channel can hold up to three plug-ins, so you can run up to 21 plug-ins in each preset!

The program allows you to run the native plug-in's interface or switch to the controller mode, where you can assign all parameters of the plug-in/s. Don't forget to remember: Now you can play all your favorite Windows plug-ins (dll-files) on Mac and Linux!

The V-Machine comes pre-installed with great-sounding plug-ins. So if you don't like to install instruments and effects first and can't wait to play that baby right away, connect your favorite MIDI controller, switch on the V-Machine, and perform immediately.
