Let's clarify why there are two sets of settings in Native Sound Processor: Application settings
that are accessible through Options\Settings and Setup Settings accessible through
Setup\Settings. The first set corresponds to general settings which are altered rarely from run
to run and they are common to any instance of the application. These settings are saved
automatically and loaded on the application start-up. The second set includes settings that are
changing frequently from session to session and even from instance to instance. This includes
loaded plug ins configuration, their state and presets and I/O routing. This set is called setup
and it can be saved and loaded as a file and like general settings the setup can be
automatically loaded on start-up.
It's time to load VST plug ins. Select the first (the topmost) slot in the plug in slot list. (it
should be already selected by default) Press 'Plug-in >' button and select 'All plug-ins' item. It
will show a pop-up sub menu with the list of VST plug ins found in the selected VST folder. So
just select your guitar distortion VST plug in ( or if the plug in you want to load is located
elsewhere, select 'Browse' menu item and locate the plug in by your own). Either way you have
selected the plug in, it's loaded. After it's loaded, the application window will wrap around the
plug in interface like shown on the screenshot from the section 3.1. below. Note that a dot
icon in the slots list has changed to a small loudspeaker. This icon stands for bypass off.
Pressing on the icon again will turn it to dot, that stands for slot bypass on. Now we will load
the second plug in. Select the second slot in the list. The application will close the window of
the VST plug in loaded into the first slot and will resize to its original size. Press the 'Plug-in >'
button again and select your stereo reverb plug in to load. Again when it's loaded the
application window will wrap around it. Now select the first slot in the list. The application will
show the first slot plug in interface and wraps around it. This is how plug in window
management works in Native Sound Processor - you can see only one plug in window at once.
