Emulator X VSTi
Launching the VSTi Application
The following instructions apply to Cubase LE. Other host applications will have their
own unique methods for launching a VSTi application. If you are using a host application
other than Cubase LE, consult the documentation that came with your host
application.
To Launch the Emulator X VSTi in Cubase LE
Open Cubase LE
1. Choose Cubase LE from the Start -> Programs menu.
2. Select New Project from the File menu.
3. Select 16 Track MIDI Recorder.
4. A pop-up dialog box will appear, asking
you to Select Directory. Choose a
location on your hard disk where you
wish to store your audio files, then click
OK.
Tip: If you have two or more hard disks,
it’s better to store audio files on a disk
that isn’t running your OS.
5. The Cubase LE Project window appears.
6. Select Device Setup… from the Devices
menu.
7. Select VST Multitrack from the list and the following screen appears.
8. In the Setup section of the dialog box, select E-MU ASIO or EMU USB as the ASIO
Driver. A pop up dialog box asks, “Do you want to switch the ASIO driver?” Select
Switch.
9. Click the Control Panel button. The pop-up
dialog box shown at right appears.
10. Set the ASIO Buffer Latency to 10 ms or less. A
low latency setting is important to assure fast
MIDI response time and to minimize delay when
monitoring through Cubase. Click OK.
11. Close the Device Setup screen by selecting OK.
12. Close Cubase LE by clicking the button.
(Close the application even if you’re going to continue with the tutorials, in order
to “lock-in” your Preference settings.)

Emulator X VSTi
Tip: When running
multiple VSTis, distribute
the CPU % among the
VSTis. Example: If one
VSTi does not glitch at
60%, set the CPU% of
two VSTis so they add up
to 60%.
