selecting and playing dierent patches in the set. Similarly, adding a Playback plug-in at
the concert level allows you to play the audio le with every patch in the concert.

Playback plug-in.
The channel strips for the selected item appear in the Channel Strips area.

Strips area.
A new software instrument channel strip is added between the existing channel strips.
The new channel strip contains a Playback plug-in with the audio le added.
