Synth Rack View

Open the Synth Rack view with the Views-Synth Rack command. The

Synth Rack view lets you view, insert, delete, and configure your soft

synths. You can also mute, solo, and freeze any or all of them from this

view. Each time you insert a soft synth into your project, a new row appears

in the Synth Rack view with the name of the soft synth and its current

preset. You can select different presets from the view. You can insert as

many copies of the same soft synth as you like; each new copy appears in

a new row and has the same name, but has a higher number after the

name (ReWire soft synths can only have one copy open). The new higher-

numbered name also appears on the menus of synth track inputs and MIDI

track outputs.
