Enable VSTi plug-ins
The Sequencer can access any VSTi plug-ins installed in specified VST folders. (See “Enable VST effects” on
page 110.) Within those folders, you must enable the individual plug-ins you want to load. Note that loading large
numbers of plug-ins can cause Adobe Audition to start slowly.
1 In the Sequencer, click the VSTi Plug-In Manager button .
2 In the Enable column, select each plug-in you want to load. Or click Enable All or Disable All.
3 Click Rescan, and then click OK.
Assign, adjust, and mix VST instruments
After you enable VSTi plug-ins, you can assign virtual instruments to sequencer tracks. To tailor sounds for your
compositions, customize instrument options.
1 In the track controls, select an instrument from the VSTi pop-up menu.
2 To display the instrument interface, click Settings, and adjust options as desired. (For information about options,
see the documentation provided by the instrument developer.)
3 In the track controls, adjust Volume and Pan knobs to fine-tune the mix of VSTi’s in the Sequencer. (To
adjust the entire MIDI track, use controls in the Main panel or Mixer.)
MIDI tracks share monitoring options with audio tracks. (See “Record audio clips in Multitrack View” on page 57.)
To monitor VSTi’s, you must click the Live Monitoring button of the related MIDI track in the Main panel or
Mixer.
