Integrating VST Effects
If you have additional VST plugins, copy them to the following directory:...\[Avid Liquid program direc-
tory]\PlugIns\VST. You can also create a subdirectory here.
To locate the added effects within Avid Liquid, select the Library tab > Realtime Clip FX > Audio. (It is,
however, necessary to restart the application. After plugins are removed from the directory, a restart will
take much longer than usual.)
VST Banks and Programs
A VST Bank is a collection of VST Programs. A VST Program is an effect whose parameters are set in a
particular way. With most of the effects supplied, you can select these programs from a list of presets. For
the Equalizer, for example, you can select “Telephone” or “Vocal”. The drop-down list is itself a VST
Bank.

Creating and Saving a VST Program
1 Set all the parameters according to your preferences.
2 Click the program selection text box (list of presets) and enter the name of the new program.
3 Open the shortcut menu for VST commands.
4 Select Save VST Program.
5 Enter a name for the program file (the name should be the same as for the program you named
above). The resulting file has the extension *.fxp.
Loading a VST Program
1 Open the shortcut menu for VST commands.
2 Select Load VST Program and select the program’s storage location.
3 The Program now appears in the list.
If you want to keep this program in the list permanently (=VST Bank), save it as part of a VST bank (see
the next section).
Changing, Saving and Loading a VST Bank
This procedure is the same as for VST programs except that, in this case, entire banks (lists) are involved.
These files are assigned the extension *.fxb.
