• Always suspend on play. When Always suspend on Play is selected, the plug-in will reset
when playback starts. Select this option for any VST instruments that have problems with stuck
notes when stopping the transport. The Always suspend on Play property is also useful for
effects that generate a tail, such as delays and reverbs. The effect is that you will hear the tails
when the transport stops, but not when the transport rolls again. Always Suspend on Play is
disabled by default.
