1. Setup

Connect your V-AMP/V-AMP 2/V-AMP PRO/V-AMPIRE/BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO/BASS V-AMPIRE bi-directionally (MIDI IN/MIDI OUT) to your computer/MIDI Interface.
1.1 Configuration Window

(Please view screen shot 1!)
Once your V-AMP/V-AMP 2/V-AMP PRO/V-AMPIRE/BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO/BASS V-AMPIRE has been connected properly, the setup window offers status information on your V-AMP model. Needless to say, all entries can be changed manually. You could, for example, select a different MIDI channel and in/out ports respectively or change the name given. When a name has been entered, it will be displayed in the left upper corners of both editor window and device window. The name you specify can be stored on all V-AMP models that feature software version 2.0 or higher. Since it is stored internally you can always identify your own unit, wherever you use it. However, version 1 of the V-AMP firmware does not support this function.

If you add the V-AMP model manually to your Setup you need to make sure that the Device ID (as indicated in the parameter box) corresponds to the MIDI channel (Setup A on your V?AMP).

1.3 Setup by scan/re-scan
If you add the V-AMP model by scan, all nessecary settings will be made automatically. If you have followed the instructions given under "Setup", you can connect the V-AMP model to your gear by scan. The scan function detects and displays all recognized V-AMPs that are connected to your MIDI setup. Please click "OK" to start the scan process. The scan is done automatically during the program's start-up. Whenever setup changes need to be made (such as MIDI channel, in/out port entries, etc.), please click "re-scan" afterwards.

2. Output Configurations

2.1 Tuner volume and remote on/off
Determines the volume of the signal whenever you activate the tuner. If the control is set fully counterclockwise, the V-AMP's output signal is not audible when tuning. The button on top of the tuner panel can be used to activate/deactivate the tuner function in the selected device. If the device connected is running on a firmware from before 2003, the "tuner off" will not yet be recognized via MIDI. In this case you must deactivate the tuner at the device itself.
2.2 Tuner calibration
Allows you to change the tuner's preset reference pitch "A". You can calibrate the tuner's reference pitch within a range from 425 Hz - 455 Hz using the dedicated rotary control. In addition, you can click on the value displayed and enter a numerical value.
2.3 Global volume
This control determines the overall volume of your V-AMP.
2.4 Configuration type

Allows to select between up to 6 different output configurations:

Output Configurations S1 S2 S3 L1 L2 L3
V-AMP 2* Stereo = Amp + CabSim + FX modeling Left = Dry Amp+ CabSimRight = Amp+Cab+FXmodeling   Stereo =Amp+Cab+FX modeling + Live EQ Stereo = Amp modeling + FX + Live EQ (no cabsim) Left= Amp+FX+Live EQ, but no CabSimRight = Amp+FX+Cabbut no Live EQ

*) not available for V-AMP with firmware lower than 2.0
2.5 Configuration Lo
This control determines the low-frequency range of the "Live" operating modes.
2.6 Configuration Mid
This control determines the mid-frequency range of the "Live" operating modes.
2.7 Configuration Hi

This control determines the high-frequency range of the "Live" operating modes.

2.8 Digital Output Configuration

Whenever you select a V-AMP PRO or BASS V-AMP PRO model a drop down menu for the digital outputs pops up. The dropdown contains 4 entries each for AES/EBU or S/PDIF output formats. The selected entry shows at which sample rate the digital output data stream is provided or if the device synchronizes to an external clock master, which is connected to the wordclock input. The selection of these sample rates or output formats does not affect the analog signal processing, but only the digital output data stream.

 

 

3.Device memory manager

3.1 Device window
(Please view screen shot 2!)
The device window contains the following entries: Current preset Preset bank (125 presets) Double clicking a preset of the device window will open the editor window with the chosen preset’s parameter settings.
3.1.1 Device window user preferences

(Please view screen shot 3!)
With the help of the device window you can determine various user preferences. For that purpose, simply select "Set" under "Preferences".

(Please view screen shot 4!)
This function allows you to, for example, determine if time values are measured (and displayed) in milliseconds (ms) or in beats per minute (BPM). You can also select from three knob modes. These modes determine the way in which a control knob reacts to mouse movements. 

Your personal settings can be stored as follows: simply enter your "Preference Name" (here: "Personal") and confirm with "OK". Consequently, a user preference can easily be erased with the help of the delete button. This has to be confirmed with "OK", too.

As long as "Show Confirmations" is activated, certain V-AMP Design processes will result in dialog windows which require confirmation/cancellation. If you are absolutely sure what you are doing, this function can be deactivated by removing the relevant tick. Consequently, V-AMP Design wont bother you with questions, i.e. when you are swapping or replacing presets.

"Auto Audition" enables you to audition any preset of the device window whenever the preset is selected. When, however, this function is deactivated, you can hear a preset after double clicking it, which will open the editor window automatically. Another way to open the editor window use the right mouse button menu.

3.2 Preset organization

The device window allows you to (re)name presets: For that purpose, simply click the respective preset name twice (with an interval of approx. one second), or use the right mouse button menu in order to enter a name of your choice (16 characters at the most) 

Swapping two presets is possible, too: Let's assume you want preset A of bank 1 to move to preset B of the same bank and vice versa: simply move preset A to the B position via drag and drop. If "Show Confirmations" is active, please confirm "Swap presets?" with "OK".

3.3 Preset name

Each preset can have its own name up to 16 letters long. This name can be stored on your
V-AMP and in the libraries.

4. V-AMP Editor operation

(Please view screen shot 5!)
4.1 Preset
A single memory location. Except for Master Volume, Aux Level, Tuner Offset and the MIDI Volume Controller the preset comprises all settings made on your V-AMP.
4.1.1 Preset bank

The V-AMP contains 125 (25 x 5) presets. All 125 presets are grouped to a single MIDI bank, which enables V-AMP Design to request them without any bank changes.

V-AMP Design can request an individual preset or all 125 presets regardless of the V-AMP being in MIDI Setup Mode or not.

To transmit presets that have been edited and to store them on your V-AMP (i.e. reloading a complete dump), it is nessecary that the V-AMP is in MIDI Setup Mode. However, a single preset can be transmitted and stored without the V-AMP being in MIDI Setup Mode.

4.2 Edit buffer
The edit buffer contains all currently active settings. The current preset can be requested, edited, taken from the editor and stored to your V-AMP regardless of the V-AMP being in MIDI Setup Mode or not. The edit buffer keeps all current settings, independently from the 125 presets on your V-AMP. In order to store the edits on your V-AMP, simply choose a preset bank and keep the preset button of your choice (A - E) pressed for about 2 seconds. If you should prefer remote operation, you can also use the "Store" button of the editor window.
4.3 Original
Allows you to temporarily restore the preset's original settings. Thus, you can easily compare it to the currently active settings. Use the COMPARE button, to toggle between the edit buffer's and the preset's settings.
4.4 Store

(Please view screen shot 6!)
Clicking "Store" offers a memory location for storing the current preset settings onto any location of your V-AMP. The "Store to V-AMP ..." window allows you to specify the memory location regarding target preset and bank information respectively. Afterwards, please click the uppermost button which automatically displays the corresponding preset name.

Of course, you can also append the current preset settings to the currently active library. This enables you to retain the original preset settings.

4.5 Overwrite
Clicking "Overwrite" saves the settings from the edit buffer to the current preset. This overwrites the original preset settings!

5. Librarian window

This window is essential when storing your V-AMP's presets onto your computer or loading presets you received via email. Preset organization with the help of the library is explained in the following chapter.
5.1 Appending presets to the library

(Please view screen shot 7!)
A preset can be taken from the device window and appended to the library via drag and drop. If "Append presets?" should appear, please confirm with "OK".

(Please view screen shot 8!)
Basically, the librarian window keeps you informed on all presets that have been appended to the library. Preset information (such as date, device ID, bank, etc.) is given automatically. The entries "Preset-name", "Comment" and "Created by", however, have to be filled out manually by clicking the relevant area once (for example "Comment"). Double clicking a preset name in the librarian window will open the editor window [link to 6] automatically.

5.2 Saving the library onto your computer

(Please view screen shot 9!)
In order to save your personal library onto your computer please click the common "Save" button of the librarian window [link to 5]. "Save library to file ..." allows you to save the library to a folder of your choice on your hard disk.

5.3 Print Library

You can print out the active library's preset list using the printer icon above.

6. EDITOR WINDOW FOR V-AMP/V-AMP 2/V-AMP PRO/V-AMPIRE

(Please view screen shot 10!)
6.1 Amp controls
6.1.1 Amp gain
Controls the degree of saturation, overdrive or distortion depending on the selected amp model.
6.1.2 Amp bass
This control allows you to raise/lower the low-frequency range of the amp model.
6.1.3 Amp mid
Use this control to boost or cut the midrange frequencies of the amp model.
6.1.4 Amp treble
This control adjusts the high-frequency range of the amp model.
6.1.5 Amp presence
This control enables you to boost/cut a high-frequency filter tuned to whatever amp model is active, thus simulating the frequency-sensitive coupling of tube amps. Please note that amp presence is not available in V-AMP firmware versions below 2.0!
6.1.6 Amp volume
Adjusts the volume level of the preset selected.
6.1.7 Amp model
Use the dropdown menu to select one of 32 different amplifier simulation models. Please note that a total of only 16 amp models is available below version 2 of the V-AMP firmware. And, the amp model bypass is not available in this version. The bypass setting allows you to use the V-AMP as a stereo effects unit without amp model. Consequently, in the bypass setting all amp controls are inactive.
6.1.8 Amp model on/off
Turns the amp model on and off. The "off" position activates the bypass automatically.
6.2 Drive
6.2.1 Drive on/off
Turns the "Drive" function on and off. The "Drive" function results in a significant increase of distortion and volume.
6.3 FX Reverb
6.3.1 Reverb mix
Use this parameter to control the balance between reverb effect signal and "dry" signal. If the value is set to "0", there is no reverb effect at all. If the value is set to "127", you hear the reverb signal exclusively.
6.3.2 Reverb type
Choose a reverb from a total of nine different algorithms using the dropdown menu.
6.3.3 Reverb on/off
Use this control to mute the input of the reverb processor. If you switch off a reverb effect during the process of reverberation, the reverb effect signal will decay normally.
6.4 FX Global
6.4.1 Control assignment

Use this dropdown menuto switch over from one effect assignment to another. After selecting an effect, the corresponding LED of the EFFECTS rotary control on your V-AMP will light up. Based on your choice made via Control assignment, the V-AMP will give access to the respective effects parameters.Please consider, the effects assignment does not change the sound(1), and is only used to determine how the settings you made via MIDI will be displayed on the device(1).

(1) Neverthless, the V-AMP 2 firmware versions beginning with 2.0.71 misinterpret the control assignment as effects change. From version 2.2.2 on this bug is fixed.

6.4.2 FX global on/off
This switch functions as a global mute button, while, however, it has no effect on the reverb effect. Thus, it mutes the V-AMP's FX output completely except for the reverb effect.
6.5 Cabinets
6.5.1 Cab model
You can select between 15 different speaker cabinets.
6.5.2 Cab model on/off
Turns the selected cab model on and off. The "Off" position selects the cabinet bypass directly.
6.6 Additional functions
6.6.1 Tap tempo
Tap the rhythm of a piece of music and the selected effect automatically adapts to the tempo of the piece of music. As a rule, you can "tap" the respective tempo using the numerical "0" key. As long as the tap button is selected, you can also use the space bar to tap the respective rhythm.
6.6.2 Noise Gate threshold
This parameter controls the threshold value for the built-in noise gate. If the control is set fully counterclockwise, the noise gate is switched off.
6.6.3 Wah position
Usually, the Wah effect is supposed to be controlled by a connected MIDI pedal. However, the effect can also be used as a separate preamp filter. Thus, the position of the control represents the position of the pedal. If the control is set fully counterclockwise, the Wah effect will be bypassed. The Wah effect can also be adjusted with the EFFECTS control on your V-AMP as soon as the drive function has been selected on the device (see chapter 1.3.1, item 8 B of your V-AMP user's manual).
6.7 Tuner remote on/off
The button in the tuner panel can be used to activate/deactivate the tuner function in the selected device. If the device connected is running on a firmware from before 2003, the "tuner off" will not yet be recognized via MIDI. In this case you must deactivate the tuner at the device itself.

7. Pre-amp effects

We have to distinguish between pre-amp effects (Compressor and Autowah) and post-amp effects. The pre-amp effects process the input signal before running through the virtual amplification models. That is to say the compressor, for example, affects the overdrive character of the amp model.
7.1 Pre FX type
Use the dropdown menu to select between effects prior to the amp model. Available are Compressor, Auto-Wah and no pre-effect (bypass).
7.2 Sense
Controls the amount of compression. With higher settings the threshold is lowered, while the ratio is augmented in six steps from 1.2:1 - 4.5:1.
7.3 Attack
Determines the rate by which the compressor responds to the signal. The attack time can be adjusted within a range from 1 to 64 ms. Fast compressor settings will reduce the dynamics of the entire signal, while slower settings will ensure that the first attack transients remain unaffected. Slow compressor settings are recommended in order to achieve a crispy and punchy signal.
7.4 Speed
This parameter controls the speed of the Auto-Wah.
7.5 Depth
This parameter controls the intensity of the Auto-Wah.
7.6 Offset
This parameter controls the lower cut-off frequency of the Auto-Wah range.
7.7 Frequency
This parameter limits the upper cut-off frequency of the Auto-Wah range.

8. FX Modulation

Use the dropdown menu to select one of the modulation effects which are positioned post amp model.
8.1 Rotary speed, phaser speed, tremolo speed, chorus speed, flanger speed
Use these parameters to control the speed of the effect.
8.2 Rotary depth, phaser depth, chorus depth, flanger depth
Use these parameters to control the intensity of the effect.
8.3 Phaser feedback, chorus feedback, flanger feedback
Use these parameters to control the amount of the effect signal that is routed back into the effects input. Please note that higher values result in metallic sounds.
8.4 Rotary mix, phaser mix, tremolo mix, chorus mix, flanger mix
These parameters control the balance between effect signal and "dry" signal.
8.5 Modulation on/off
Use this LED button to switch the modulation effect on and off.

9. FX Delay

Use the dropdown menu to select the desired delay program. Thus, you can select between

  • a simple delay with adjustable stereo spread parameter,
  • an echo with alternating left and right repetitions which are filtered like those of a classic tape echo and
  • a ping pong delay with repetitions on left, right and center positions.
    • 9.1 Delay time
    The time between two echoes is measured in milli seconds or BPM (beats per minute). The device window allows you to select one of these two units.
    9.2 Delay spread
    Use this parameter to automatically provide different delay proportions for left and right positions. This will result in more or less stereo image.
    9.3 Delay feedback
    This parameter controls the fading of the echos and, correspondingly, the number of audible repetitions of the delayed signal. Using extreme settings, the echos hardly fade at all.
    9.4 Delay mix
    Use this parameter to control the balance between delayed signal and "dry" signal.
    9.5 Delay on/off
    Using this LED button you can switch the delay effect on and off.

    10. EDITOR WINDOW FOR BASS V-AMP/ BASS V-AMP PRO

    (Please view screen shot 11!)

    10.1 Amp model
    Use the dropdown menu to select one of 32 different amplifier simulation models. The bypass setting allows you to use the V-AMP as a stereo effects unit without amp model. Consequently, in the bypass setting all amp controls are inactive.
    10.1.1 Amp model on/off
    Turns the amp model on and off. The "off" position activates the bypass automatically.
    10.2 Cabinets
    10.2.1 Cab model
    You can select between 23 different speaker cabinets.
    10.2.2 Cab model on/off
    Turns the selected cab model on and off. The "Off" position selects the cabinet bypass directly.
    10.3 Preamp/EQ Controls
    10.3.1 Gain
    Controls the degree of saturation, overdrive or distortion depending on the selected amp model.
    10.3.2 Deep
    This control allows you to raise/lower the lowest frequency range of the amp model.
    10.3.3 Bass
    This control allows you to raise/lower the low-frequency range of the amp model.
    10.3.4 Mid
    Use this control to boost or cut the midrange frequencies of the amp model.
    10.3.5 Treble
    This control adjusts the high-frequency range of the amp model.
    10.3.6 Shape / Mid-Shift
    If the original amp features sweepable (semi-parametric) mid controls, the virtual amplification model uses this control to adjust the filter center frequency and the MID control adjusts the corresponding filter gain. If the original amp does not have this feature, the control is used to activate and adjust the additional SHAPE filter. This unique feature allows to slightly alter the sound in a way the other EQ controls cannot provide.
    10.3.7 Presence
    This control enables you to boost/cut a high-frequency filter tuned to whatever amp model is active, thus simulating the frequency-sensitive coupling of tube amps. Please note that amp presence is not available in V-AMP firmware versions below 2.0!
    10.3.8 Volume
    Adjusts the volume level of the preset selected.
    10.4 WAH
    Use this dropdown menu to select one of 3 wah effect types. The corresponding LED of the EFFECTS rotary control on your V-AMP will light up. Based on your choice made, the V-AMP will give access to the respective effects parameters.
    10.4.1 Wah control
    Usually, the Wah effect is supposed to be controlled by a connected MIDI pedal. However, the effect can also be used as a separate preamp filter. Thus, the position of the control represents the position of the pedal. If the control is set fully counterclockwise, the Wah effect will be bypassed.
    10.4.2 Speed
    This parameter controls the speed if the Auto-Wah effect is selected.
    10.4.3 Base
    Adjust the Base frequency.
    10.5 Stomp Box
    Use the dropdown menu to select a Stompbox type. You can set up Drive, Tone and Boost just like with the original stomp boxes. (Tone not available when Big Bass Boost is selected).
    10.5.1 Split
    Adjusts a crossover which lets the low frequencies bypass the stompbox simulation. The Split control activates and sets the crossover frequency before the distortion block and is completely independent from the post effects cross-over (see 10.7).
    10.6 Compressor

    The compressor controls the signal dynamics between the stompbox and the amp simulation block. It can be used at any time in addition to all other simulations or effects.

    10.6.1 Density
    Controls the amount of compression. With higher settings the threshold is lowered, while the ratio is augmented in six steps from 1.2:1 - 4.5:1.
    10.6.2 Attack
    Determines the rate by which the compressor responds to the signal. The attack time can be adjusted within a range from 0 to 127 ms. Fast compressor settings will reduce the dynamics of the entire signal, while slower settings will ensure that the first attack transients remain unaffected. Slow compressor settings are recommended in order to achieve a crispy and punchy signal.
    10.7 X-OVER
    The integrated crossover determines at what frequency the effects start working and regulates the bass information when the unit is used without effects. It splits the signal into two bands, feeding only the upper band into the post effects block. In output configurations S2 and L2 you can also use it for bi-amping setups (see table 2.4).
    10.7.1 Frequency control
    With this control the cut-off frequency of the crossover is regulated.
    10.7.2 Balance control
    Volume balance between the high pass and the low pass can be adjusted (all the way to the left = low pass signal only, all the way to the right = high pass signal only).
    10.8 Denoiser
    10.8.1 Expander control
    This parameter controls the expander threshold for the built-in denoiser. If the control is set fully counterclockwise, the denoiser is switched off.
    10.8.2 Sensitivity control

    Adjusts the sensitivity of the dynamic filter.

    10.8.3 Denoiser Range
    The range control determines how far the dynamic low pass filter may close if no input signal is detected.
    10.9 FX
    Use the Range control to adjust the frequency range of the dynamic filter.
    10.9.1 Parameter controls
    Each effect type offers up to 7 parameters you can use to adjust the effects. Depending on the selected effect type the parameter controls will have different functions according to Tab. 6.1 in your BASS V-AMP manual.
    10.9.2 Global FX on/off
    This switch functions as a global mute button.
    10.10 Tap Tempo
    Tap the rhythm of a piece of music and the selected effect automatically adapts to the tempo of the piece of music. As a rule, you can "tap" the respective tempo using the numerical "0" key. As long as the tap button is selected, you can also use the space bar to tap the respective rhythm.
    10.11 Tuner remote on/off
    The button in the tuner panel can be used to activate/deactivate the tuner function in the selected device. If the device connected is running on a firmware from before 2003, the "tuner off" will not yet be recognized via MIDI. In this case you must deactivate the tuner at the device itself.
