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.
