Selection menu: Select the plug-in via the selection menu on the right hand side of
the module. For this, you will need to have plug-ins installed on your computer. The
path to search for installed VST plug-ins can be set in the "Options" menu via -> "Set
path settings". All recognized plug-ins will be added to the menu list.
Edit: The selected plug-in is opened to define specific effect settings.
VST Plug-in Editor
The VST Plug-in Editor can be opened by right-clicking on the instrument's name in
the MIDI Editor, via the corresponding plug-in slot in the Mixer, or via the "VST
Instruments Editor" entry in the instrument list.
The Instrument Editor has two views, the so-called "GUI" of the plug-in (Graphical
User Interface) and the parameter view. This is either automatically activated when
the VST plug-in does not have its own GUI or can be used if the GUI of the plug-in is
too unclear or takes up too much space on the screen. The parameter view displays
the eight parameters of the plug-in as sliders. In the File menu you can change
between these views (plug-in dialog/plug-in parameter).
Load/save patch/bank: The instrument settings can be saved and loaded in the
patch formats typical for VST plug-ins (*.fxp) and bank formats (*.fxb).
Random parameters: This function can be an important source of inspiration.
However, before using it please save the current preset you've just created as this
feature does not ask before it is applied.
Menu program: Here you can select the presets integrated into the plug-in or loaded
via the File menu.
Tape simulation (plug-in)
Tape simulation offers you the possibility of giving your recordings an "analog touch"
by imitating typical aspects of a tape recording. In a lot of studios, 1" and 2" tape
machines are still used because they are thought to create a fullness of sound,
"warmth" and "saturation" that contrasts with the more neutral and analytical sound
of digital technology.
There are numerous factors that are decisive for the sound expressiveness of tape-
based recordings. Some of these are:
• Distortions that occur when the tape is played in the saturation range,
