Machine Control : Pyramix and VCube
23 - 562
Pyramix can control and be controlled by a wide variety of external hardware. This chapter, Machine Control
deals with situations where Pyramix is controlling an external machine or machines. It also deals with Pyramix and
VCube running either on the same machine or on separate machines.
Pyramix and VCube
Virtual Transport 2
Virtual Transport 2 provides a simple and robust method of controlling a VCube from Pyramix whether the VCube
is running on the same machine as Pyramix or a machine on the same network.
PyraCube
Pyramix and VCube running on the same machine.
VCube Prerequisites
The VCube audio I/O must be set in the VS3 control panel. Options are:
•Use the ASIO bridge so that VCube I/O is available to the Pyramix Mixer.
• Native - ASIO with an ASIO sound device.
Note: In a non MassCore, Native mode PyraCube the ASIO sound device buffer must be set to
256 samples for correct synchronization between Pyramix and VCube. If this is not possible, for
example if the device does not permit it, then you must use the No VS3/ASIO Audio setting.
• No VS3/ASIO Audio
Apart from this no settings are required to be made in VCube.
Note: If using the ASIO Bridge for VCube audio Pyramix must be launched first and complete
start up before launching VCube.

not already connected, click on the VCube and click on Connect.
Note that it’s status is shown as Connected.
If you are intending to use Import Video Clips in Pyramix set the Save VCube composition in the Pyramix proj-
ect option to on. (Checked). When the Pyramix Project is opened subsequently, the Video Clip(s) will be opened in
VCube.
