What is the proper setup order for using the system?
You must first install the VS-20 driver, then connect the V-STUDIO 20 to your computer before starting up the Editor.
How do I change or edit the settings of an effect in detail?
Click [DETAIL] to view the Detail screen, which allows you to edit parameters by dragging the knobs and turn effects on/off.
What happens if I modify a patch but fail to save it?
If you exit VS-20 Editor or switch patches before writing any modifications, all your changes will be lost.
Are there conflict restrictions among the microphone/vocal effects?
