application for the first time, this “tree view” will include a destination folder for imported presets
as well as a Library folder. To open a folder, click on the “+” symbol on Windows or I symbol
on Mac OS which will reveal the folder content.
The preset library is different from the program list and can be viewed as a repository con-
taining all the presets available to the application. Presets are loaded into the synthesis engine by
copying them from the library into the program list. To load a preset, double-click on a preset icon
(blue knob) or preset name. This will insert the preset into the program list at the position of the
current program. You can also use the arrow keys on the computer keyboard in order to navigate
in the preset list and then the Enter key to load a preset. For additional information on presets and
programs, please refer to Chapter 2 of this manual.
1.4.3 Using MIDI Links
Every parameter on the String Studio VS interface can be linked to an external MIDI controller.
To assign a MIDI Link, right-click (control-click on Mac) on a control (knob, button or slider)
and a contextual menu will appear. Select Learn MIDI Link and move a knob or slider on your
MIDI controller to activate the link. To deactivate the link, right-click (control-click on Mac) on
the control and choose the Forget MIDI Link command. Refer to section 6.2 for more details on
MIDI links.
1.4.4 Using MIDI program changes
The synthesizer responds to MIDI program changes. When a program change is received, the
current program is changed to the program having the same number as that of the program change
message received by the application.
1.4.5 Using String Studio VS as a Plug-in
The String Studio VS integrates seamlessly into the industry’s most popular multi-track recording
and sequencing environments as a virtual instrument plug-in. The String Studio VS works as any
other plug-in in these environments so we recommend that you refer to your sequencer documen-
tation in case you have problems running the String Studio VS as a plug-in.
