3. Software-Controller Configuration

This section describes how to start using your VX49. We recommend using VX49 with the included VIP
software which you can use to perform with, create, edit, and manage multiple plugin patches
simultaneously. To learn more about how you can use VX49 in each kind of setup, please see the
Operation chapter.
Make sure you have installed the software (described earlier in
Installation) and connected VX49 to your computer, external MIDI equipment, and/or other devices
(described earlier in 2. Controller
With VIP in Your DAW
To set up VX49 with VIP in your DAW:
1. Power on your VX49, and open your DAW in your computer.
2. Make sure VX49 is selected as a controller in your DAW—you can usually do this in your DAW's
Preferences, Device Setup, or Options.
3. In your DAW, create a new MIDI track (i.e., not an audio track).
4. Open VIP in your DAW as you would open a standard VST plugin. By default, VIP is installed in [your
hard drive] \ Program Files \ VstPlugins (Windows) or Applications (Mac OS X).
5. In VIP, click the Settings menu and select Plugin Manager.
6. At the bottom of the Plugin Manager window, click one of the Plugin Folder fields, and then select the
folder where your instrument plugins are located on your computer. You can select up to two locations
(one for each Plugin Folder field).
