If I decide to accept the risk, how do I load and use freeware VST plug-ins inside the Digital X Bus?
Most freeware VSTs are simply downloaded from the Internet as a compressed/zipped file, within which is a “.dll” file for the actual plug-in. The only file you will need for the Digital X Bus is the .dll file. Any other files, such as a “ReadMe.txt” file or anything similar, will be useless in the mixer because the Digital X Bus does not have any ancillary programs, such as Microsoft™ Word™ or Notepad™, installed. Therefore, you will not be able to open them in the mixer. Once you have the .dll files, you need to copy them into the “D:\FreewareVST” folder on the Digital X Bus’ internal hard drive. Simply copy the freeware .dll files to your USB Flash Drive, insert that Flash Drive into one of the USB ports on the back of the Digital X Bus, open the Digital X Bus File Manager (under the File Menu), locate the fi les on your USB Flash Drive, and copy them to the D:\FreewareVST folder. Once you have copied those files to the X.200, you need to re-boot the mixer so it can re-scan that directory and
