Virtual String Machine 1

Getting Started with VSM

Thank you for purchasing the GForce Virtual String Machine instrument. A full PDF
manual is included on the disc so please use this as your primary reference source
for VSM as it contains useful information to help you understand the functionality of
the instrument. Additionally, there is historical information detailing the development
of the string machines used in the production of VSM.

Installing VSM

Included on the Master DVD are multiple format versions of the VSM. The VSM
installer installs ALL format versions via a single installer; one for Mac and one
for PC.

Insert the VSM Master DVD into your DVD Drive and select the VSM installer
applicable to your machine type (PC or Mac) and install the instrument formats you
require.

VERY IMPO RTANT: Once this is complete you need to manually
copy the file called ‘Resources.cpt2’ to a suitable location. We
recommend the following locations:

▸ PC Version: C:/Program Files/GForce/String Machine

 ▸ Mac: HD/Library/Application Support/GForce/String Machine

The ‘Resources.cpt2’ file is 2.5 gigabytes in size – if you prefer, you
may place it in any location you wish, such as a dedicated audio or
sample storage drive.

The first time you open VSM you will be prompted to locate the
Resources.cpt2 file and enter the Registration Code EXACTLY as you
find it printed on the inside cover of the “Getting Started Guide.”
