Boss VF-1 Effect Processor

You need a MIDI port for your computer in order to communicate with it
via MIDI. Many computers that have a 'joystick' port built into their
soundcard already have a MIDI port capability built in (for example
pretty much every Sound Blaster card ever made by Creative Labs
supports this) to use this port as a MIDI port you can buy a simple
cable to provide the standard MIDI 5pin DIN connectors. 

Once you've got a MIDI port setup the 'out' from the computer goes to
the VF-1's 'in' and the 'in' to the computer connects to the VF-1's
out via standard MIDI cables.

As far as software goes, there's basically nothing available specific
for the VF-1 except a limited (only supports the Multi 1 algo)
freeware patch editor available here and Sounddiver a relatively
expensive ($149US) and poorly maintained (IMHO, based on the POD
specific version which has a history of compatibility problems with
new Winodws versions, crashes often, and is generally broken). 

The software problem for the VF1 is a real letdown for me. I've found
the availability of Computer Patch editing for the POD to be a
wonderful thing and it's a shame the VF1 doesn't have a similar
capability since it's such a great unit but has tons of tweakable
parameters.
