Mixers and Audio Objects
To work with VST™ plug-ins in MAGIX midi studio gen-
eration 6, copy the plug-in files to the folder called “VST-
PlugIns” in the corresponding directory. Simply create a
folder with this name if one does not already exist—but
the installation routine will have it done for you. In order
to prevent particular plug-ins from being shown in the
plug-in list, move the plug-in file to another folder, which
could be named “Vst_unused”.
MAGIX midi studio generation 6 now supports programs
for VST™/VST™2.0 plug-ins, if a plug-in provides pro-
gram memory. You will find a new menu in the title bar of
the plug-in window that displays the currently chosen pro-
gram (“PROG 01” etc.). Double click on a program name
to rename it.
Version 6 also allows the Plug-In enabler to activate and
deactivate VST™ plug-ins. Click on the flip menu in the
middle of the Enabler window to switch between both for-
mats. It is possible to apply DirectX and VST™ plug-ins si-
multaneously; you do not deactivate one format when you
switch to another.
Like MAGIX midi studio generation 6’s own plug-ins,
VST™ plug-ins can also be automated. This type of auto-
mation is not possible with DirectShow plug-ins due to
technical reasons based on the principle of the Direct-
Show interface.
Audio Instruments
MAGIX midi studio generation 6 supports the new, in-
cluded MAGIX synthesizers Carpet Sweeper and Percu-
sor. Outfitted with an innovative user interface, the units
provide subtractive synthesis that meets the classic analog
ideals. They offer everything that made the analog synthe-
sizer so famous: rich basic sound, punchy filters, flexible
modulation possibilities and extremely fast envelopes.
The synthesizer instruments integrate seamlessly within
MAGIX midi studio generation 6’s internal digital mixer;
all plug-ins effects can be used and all parameters can be
automated. The direct connection with the sequencing en-
gine of MAGIX midi studio generation 6 guarantees un-
surpassed precision through sample-accurate timing that
is superior to any external MIDI synthesizer.
To use the new instruments, version 6 features a new cat-
egory of audio objects in MAGIX midi studio generation
6, called “audio instruments”. These can have the synthe-
sizer plug-in in their top insert slot. The default song—the
song that opens if you move your Autoload away from the
