Effect management
All functions for managing the effects are clearly organized in the
menu bar at the top of the FX page.
Here you can select and save effects, bypass the FX board and deter-
mine the mode of FX switching by part or player.
Switching effects on or off
The bypass switch in the menu bar completely deactivates the effect
board.
Effects are bypassed when the button is pushed and the green LED is
lighted.
Apart from the global bypass, every effect device has its own on/off
switch. The wah switch is located top-right above the pedal, all other
switches are stylish metal pedal switches with a red indicator LED.
Effect bank
On startup, Virtual Guitarist automatically loads a default bank of 32
effects. This bank is totally independent from parts or players, it rather
is a pool of effect settings. By selecting an effect from the bank, you
load it into a part or player buffer. Changes are stored in the buffer
only and saved with the song. To permanently save them in the bank
for use in other VG instances and songs, you need to manually save
the effect program into the bank.
❐ Managing several effect banks using the standard fxb format is only possible
in the separate plug-in version of the effect board since fxb files in Virtual
Guitarist are already in use. More on this in the “Plug-in version of the effect
board” section on page 42.
