Scripter plug-in
Use the Scripter plug-in
The Scripter plug-in lets you load and use factory or user-created scripts to process or generate
MIDI data in real time. You do not need any programming knowledge to use the plug-ins created
in this environment, but you can view and modify them with the built-in script editor. Once
authored and stored as a setting or patch or as part of a concert or project le, you can use the
plug-in just like any other. A number of pre-built Scripter processors are included.
If you are an advanced user, you can create your own custom MIDI plug-ins. See Use the
Script Editor.
The Scripter plug-in has one global parameter. Further parameters, dened by the JavaScript
script that is currently running, are shown below the global parameter.

You can write your own scripts or can paste scripts from other sources into this window.
Load a pre-built Scripter processor
Do one of the following:
m Load a setting from the plug-in window header.
m Load a patch from the Library.
m Load a channel strip setting from the channel strip Settings pop-up menu or Library.
m Load a project or concert that contains a Scripter plug-in with a running script.
You do not need to explicitly save an active script as a setting, patch, and so on. Saving the
project or concert retains the script and status of all Scripter plug-ins.
