Using the Synth Rack Browser
The Synth Rack view lets you view, insert, delete, and configure your soft synths. You can also mute,
solo, and freeze any active instruments in your projects. 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 directly from the Synth Rack.
When a synth is highlighted in the Synth Rack, the corresponding tracks in the Track View and
Console View are also highlighted.
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 Instrument
track inputs and MIDI track outputs.
When the Synth Rack is undocked, or docked at the bottom, additional controls become available.
These include synth icons and control knobs to control and/or automate parameters.
