Synth Rack
To open the Synth Rack, open the Browser and click the Synth button . The Synth Rack 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 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.
