scanning plugin

Posted

Hey What determies if a plugin is working, when you scan it to get the preset names of the plugin? I use ElectraX from Tone2 and Nexus2 from reFX and when I scan the synth, then I only get the name of the preset that is loaded in the plugin.

This depends on how the plugin was made by its developers. It may or may not respond to the query Synfire sends to it. The query is AU/VST standard but not all plugins implement it.

Anyway, it is still useful even if you only get a single sound name: You get the manufacturer and model name and everything in the created device is nicely initialized as a template to start with adding more sounds manually.
