VSM has two independently configurable layers, Layer A (Green) and Layer B (Red). Each layer can load a different string sound bank and has independent Ageing, LFO, filter, amplitude envelope and performance settings.
Displays the currently loaded sample bank for each layer. Clicking on a window will open the String Bank Browser for that layer.
The string bank browser lets you quickly find and load sounds into the layers. Like the Patch Browser strings can be searched and sorted by original instrument and tags, which can be selected to filter results in the right column.
Click on a string name to load it into the current layer.
Right-click on a string to find options to load it to the other layer or both.
Double-click a string to load it and close the browser.

“A” button - Clicking the A button will select layer A for editing. When Layer A is selected and active, all the corresponding controls’ markers will turn green. If a particular parameter or control doesn’t have a green marker, it is global and not layer specific eg: FX and master control sections.
“B” button - Clicking the B button will select layer B for editing. When Layer B is selected and active, all the corresponding controls’ markers will turn red. If a particular parameter or control doesn’t have a red marker, it is global and not layer specific eg: FX and master control sections.
Link Button - Clicking the link button will select both layers for editing. When link mode is selected and active, all the corresponding controls’ markers will turn blue and the GUI knob positions will match that of Layer A.
However, the Layer B parameters will not change until you adjust the linked knob. For example: if you enter link mode, adjust the filter cutoff, and exit link mode, all other Layer B settings will remain unchanged.
