Dont buy it. This is an unfinished product. Latest firmware (20090130) still is not able to save changes after turnin device off. Only basic VSTi work due to the need of "wizard files" that have to be edited to work on your personal computer. Spent too many hours trying to make it work properly but still not able to use it in live gigs. Sampletank software included will never definetly work on the V MACHINE. I will send it back to the shop. DONT BUY THIS PIECE OF SCRAP I am very DISSATISFIED with this V MACHINE.

- this device is not recongnized in the device manager, after installing the software.
- there is no .inf, no driver available

- the SampleTank cd does’n install correct, there is no icon or .exe to start the sample tank.
- my sustain pedal of the piano does not work correct with the vmachine

So, I’ll spent a lot of hours to try solve these problems…tommorow I will try again and if everything isn;t work correctly I put it back in the box and bring it back to the store….so, be aware..this is not realy plug and play

Or do VSTis allow multiple cross-platform installations?

I was kinda hoping you were gonna use some amazing vst-compatible Linux distro I hadn't heard of yet :) Ah well, as soon as a V-machine is available at the local shop I'll give her a spin. Good luck with your project! ap Ah, I see.

Its rack-mount, 8gigs ram, dual-core 3ghz, 2 sound cards, but i'm worried. I'm planning on running Symphonic Choirs, Symphonic Orchestra, and Superior Drummer 2 simultaneously. I'm thinking i can pick up this unit (or one like it) if my road computer can't handle all of the vst traffic. At the same time, i think mabey a quad core will resolve any latency issues. any suggestions? I’m building a computer for a little more than this unit costs.
