Boss VF-1 Effect Processor

Yeah..  It's really only good for editing for guitar sounds.  You 
can't request any patches from the VF-1.  When you have an edited 
patch you want to keep in the VF-1, you have to press the "WRITE" 
button on the VF-1.  Then you can store it in a diffrent user 
location if you want.

  I set up different window configurations, in SoundDiver (v.3), 
where I have that long VF-1 patch editor stuff split into 3 parts 
stacked on top of each other on my monitor screen.  I only have to 
press a keyboard number key to switch between the 3 available 
algorithms. Once you set up a window config. and lock it in place, 
all of the sub-windows within that window retain their size, and 
position within that algorithm.

 I also have most of the on-screen knobs a sliders controlled by CC's 
from a 'Dopfer Pocket Dial'.  This uses the 'increment/de-increment' 
rotary controllers, so moving the dials wont' make the parameters in 
SoundDiver jump clear away from their original positions.  With 16 
knobs, and 4 buttons for 4 diffrent bank numbers, I have 64 
controllable parameters per algorithm mapped within SoundDiver.  I 
made a color coded chart that shows which knob controls which 
parameter in the VF-1.

  It's really nice tweaking or building patches this way, and beats 
the heck out of using the buttons & knob on the VF-1, or using a 
mouse on those little knobs on the computer screen.
