Connect the Virtual FH to your Mac/PC via the USB port.
Choose a USB port on your Mac/PC and insert the wide (flat) end of the USB
cable. Connect the cable’s small jack end to the Virtual FH. Your Mac/PC
should automatically “see” the new hardware and notify you that it is ready to
use.
Note: If your Virtual FH’s LCD is blinking or the unit keeps restarting,
it’s very likely that your USB port is not supplying enough power to the
Virtual FH. Try to change the USB port or use InSpire’s power adaptor
(optional)
Select the DAW at Virtual FH
Press <</>> to scroll through the DAW list, after pressed the “DAW” button to make the selection.
- Tip: Virtual FH will memorise your last selected DAW mode and re-enter the same mode a few seconds after it has been switched on. (i.e. DAW mode selection is not needed if the last mode is being used.)
- Tip: For an advanced user, you may set your own midi mapping for the controller. Select “User Defined” mode when turn on Virtual FH and set the midi mapping with the iMap application provided.
