MAGIX midi studio generation 6 supports the new, in-
cluded Magix synthesizers M-TB 6 (MAGIX midi studio
generation 6 deLuxe only), Carpet Sweeper and Percusor.
Outfitted with an innovative user interface, the units pro-
vide 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. Beside these
built-in synthesizers MAGIX midi studio generation 6
supports VST™2.0 instruments as well.
To use the new instruments, MAGIX midi studio genera-
tion 6 features a new category of audio objects in MAGIX
midi studio generation 6, called “audio instruments”.
These can have the synthesizers or VST™2.0 plug-in in
their top insert slot. The default song—the song that
opens if you move your Autoload away from the Magix
music studio folder—has readily configured audio instru-
ments.
An audio instrument is an audio track with the track para-
meter “Cha” switched to one of the “Instruments (1-4)”
(with MAGIX midi studio generation 6) or “Instruments
(1-6)” (with MAGIX midi studio generation 6 deLuxe). So
each audio track can be made an audio instrument by set-
ting its “Cha” parameter in its object parameter box to an
instrument channel. But it is more convenient to create a
new audio instrument by simply selecting Functions >
Track > Create Audio Instrument Track.
Please make sure that you have inserted the desired syn-
thesizer in the Audio Instrument mixer channel in the
Mixer window, and that you have selected the track of this
Audio Instrument mixer channel in the Arrange window.
Now double-click on the inserted synthesizer plug-in to
see and access all those lovely knobs. As synthesizers are
all about creating and playing new sounds, we will just tell
you how to set up these instruments for usage, and en-
courage you to experiment with them. They come with
plenty of pre-programmed settings that serve as starting
points for your own, unique sound creations. You can load
