the Plugiator is powered up, it operates in Local ON mode by default.

MIDI and that the Plugiator is set the MIDI channel you are using (or OMNI). If not,
please check your MIDI keyboard with other MIDI equipment. You may also want to try
an alternate MIDI cable, these things may break as you know.
4. If you have just finished updating the DSP OS of your Plugiator, please ensure that
you have re-started the unit.

For the convenience of file sharing of presets for the Plugiator, we have implemented a
structure for preset saving which is as follows:
- Plug-in (one of the 8 plug-ins available on the Plugiator)
- Preset File (contains one or more Bank files)

The Plugiator uses a Program Change message to load a certain synth or a certain preset.
Therefore you can easily „record" and „play back" the commands to switch sounds of the
Plugiator. Use Program Change numbers 101-108 to load synths and Program Changes
from 1-100 to change presets of the selected plug-in.

VST Plug-Ins utilize your computer's main processor to generate their sounds, and they rely
on a very specific software environment under Microsoft Windows. It would be very expensive
to put such an environment into a table top synth. In contrast, Plugiator utilizes a special
DSP processor which was designed for audio processing. Such DSPs are very powerful and
affordable, but they have a different command set than your Intel/AMD computer so that
VST code will not run on DSPs and vice versa. However, today's floating point DSPs have
significant advantages over host processors - they provide facilities which help maintaining a
fantastic sound quality.
