8 Using Lounge Lizard EP as a Plug-In
Lounge Lizard EP is available in VST, RTAS and AudioUnit formats and integrates seamlessly
into the industry most popular multi-track recording and sequencing environments as a virtual
instrument plug-in. Lounge Lizard EP works as any other plug-in in these environments so we
recommend that you refer to your sequencer documentation in case you have problems running it
as a plug-in. We review here some general points to keep in mind when using a plug-in version of
Lounge Lizard EP.
8.1 Audio and MIDI Configuration
When Lounge Lizard EP is used as a plug-in, the audio and MIDI ports, sampling rate, buffer size,
and audio format are determined by the host sequencer.
8.2 Automation
Lounge Lizard EP supports automation functions of host sequencers. All parameters visible on the
interface can be automatized except for the Polyphony, Bank, Program and History commands.
8.3 Multiple Instances
Multiple instances of Lounge Lizard EP can be launched simultaneously in a host sequencer.
8.4 MIDI Program Change
MIDI program changes are supported in Lounge Lizard EP. When a MIDI program change is re-
ceived by the application, the current program used by the synthesis engine is changed to that
having the same number, in the currently loaded bank, as that of the MIDI program change mes-
sage.
8.5 Saving Projects
When saving a project in a host sequencer, the currently loaded program is saved with the project
in order to make sure that the instrument will be in the same state as when you saved the project
when you re-open it. Note that banks of programs are not saved with the project which implies that
if you are using MIDI program changes in your project, you must make sure that the bank you are
using in your project still exists on your disk when you reload the project. The programs must also
exist and be in the same order as when the project was saved.
