Figure 75-4: plug-in sets.
Enable All
When you choose the Enable All plug-in set
(Figure 75-4), all plug-ins (except ones that did not
pass examination) are enabled. This is the default
plug-in set.
Disable All
When you choose the Disable All plug-in set
(Figure 75-4), all plug-ins (except for Digital
Performer’s included surround panner plug-ins)
will be disabled.
Safe
When you choose the Safe plug-in set
(Figure 75-4), only the plug-ins which are included
with Digital Performer are enabled; all other
plug-ins will be disabled.
Creating and deleting plug-in sets
To create a new plug-in set, click the New button,
enter a name, and click OK. To delete a plug-in set,
choose it from the plug-in set menu and click the
Delete button. When Enable All, Disable All or Safe
is chosen, the Delete button will be grayed out as
these plug-in sets cannot be deleted.
Editing plug-in sets
To edit a plug-in set, choose it from the plug-in set
menu, then enable or disable the desired plug-ins.
The Enable All, Disable All or Safe plug-in sets
cannot be modified. If you attempt to enable or
disable any plug-ins while one of them is selected,
you will be prompted to create a new set. You can
then edit the new plug-in set just as you would any
other.
Selecting a plug-in set at startup
Hold the Option/Alt key while launching Digital
Performer to bring up a dialog which allows you to
choose the plug-in set which will be loaded:
Ramp event density
The Ramp event density option (Figure 75-3) sets
the default density when writing ramp automation
for plug-ins.
Primary external plug-in format (Mac only)
The Primary external plug-in format option is for
MacOS only and determines the format of the
plug-ins that DP will examine and enable by
default. Choose Audio Units if you have a large
number of existing DP projects that use AUs, and
you don’t need to transfer DP projects to and from
Windows systems. Choose VST2 or VST3 to
increase the cross-platform compatibility of your
projects. This setting can be changed at any time.
