Hi Keith.
I presume it comes with loading software for Windows - does this work with Vista?
Yes, there's a Windows program called VFX which is basically a V-Machine Emulator. You actually just treat this program as if it were your V-Machine. Install all your plugins and sounds, set them up how you like an so on. Test and play them in VFX direct on your PC.
Once your happy you can then export the setup to a memory stick and put that in the back of the actual V-Machine. This export function dumps everything you need to the memory stick so that when you insert it into the V-Machine, the unit will scan the stick and start running everything straight away.
Is there any VST or VSTi s/w with it?
Yes, it comes with a number of plug-ins, but I'll also throw in a 4GB memory stick full of goodies.
I would really like to have the old M1 sounds.
Sure, it's only registered to run on the V-Machine itself though. You won't be able to make a copy of it that will run on your PC.
My SD2 is about 12 months old but I dont take it on gigs - I just use it for recordings to supplement my T3 sounds. I have the original box and voice listings etc.
Sounds good to me.
Email me to discuss if you want to progress this - Cheers - Keith
Will do. I'll send off an email in the morning. I don't have mail on the PC I'm on right now.
Regards
James
