vPed VST-VSTi User Manual

Thank you for purchasing vPed. We trust that the device can fully satisfy you, offering more and more satisfaction over time. Please
read this guide about the main features and functionality in order to fully take advantage of its potential.
vPed has been developed with the objective of using plug-ins in VST and VSTi formats (owned by "Steinberg Media Technologies
GmbH" ©) in live performances. Plug-in in this format are characterized by an awesome range of effects and virtual instruments
available, usually used only on DAW systems.
vPed already includes pre-installed VST/VSTi plugins, but the goal is to allow the user to make use of the wide availability of VST
plugins downloaded from the web (free or purchased). A vPed user can have fun creating numerous sound situations, easily recalled
during live performance. For this reason, using vPed, you don't have to do anything but think about your music.
vPed retains a large dynamic range, and has a latency of only 3-4 mS, unrecognized by most users. Note that the latency could also
be increased by some plug-ins.
vPed allows you to load and assign 4 + 4 footswitches, for a total of 8 VST and / or VSTi plugins. Note that you can choose how all
effects are activated: in the additive mode all the plug-ins are active at the same time; in the exclusive mode , when one effect is
enabled,the previous is automatically turned off. This mode is useful in the VST that includes both effects and guitar amplifier, and
thus provides a complete set of sounds and effects in the same plug-in.
The first 4 foot switches from the left, are characterized by a blue color, allowing you to simply activate or deactivate an effect.
However, the foot switches can also take editing functions depending on the displayed screen. In management operations or deep
editings, a mouse(included)can be helpful though not essential. It's also possible to connect a computer keyboard (not included), not
essential but useful for procedures of certain plugin installations, or for entries registering a purchased product.
vPed can be attractive for guitar/bass and keyboard players as well as singers, and in any case for those who need to use plugins in
