on. The blue “Signal Present” indicators will be illuminated if E-MU PowerFX is
properly patched into a signal path.

6. Click on the Effect you wish to edit in the center Insert Strip (it will highlight in
yellow), then adjust the effects parameters in the right section of the window.

Add Delay Compensation (if needed)
If you are using Cubase VST 5.1, you will have to insert an E-Delay Compensator into
any other audio tracks to keep them time-aligned.
8. Simply insert an E-Delay Compensator plug-in into the same insert location you
used for E-MU PowerFX on any other audio tracks. That’s it.
Preferences The Preferences menu allows you to:
• Toggle the Tooltips On or Off
• Extra Buffers - Check this box if excessive stuttering occurs when
using E-MU PowerFX in your VST Host application. This box
should be checked when using Fruity Loops.

Forge).
