algorithms are excluded here (e.g. timestretching plug-ins because of the
resulting length-changing effect).
Working method and use
When you open the plug-ins dialog you will see a list of the DirectX and VST
compatible plug-ins that are installed on your computer on the right-hand side.
Activate one of them and press the arrow in the middle; the activated plug-in is
transferred into the list of active plug-ins to the left. The surface of the plug-in
is also opened to make specific changes to the effect settings. You can set up
a chain of effects in this way, but it is important to ensure that the plug-ins are
all compatible with one another. For instance, stereo and mono plug-ins must
not be coupled together. The plug-in selected in each case in the list on the
left can be deleted again with the “Remove” button.
Dialog buttons
Save/load: The two buttons in the upper right of the dialog field enable a
complete plug-in setup (the sequence of plug-ins and all their set parameters)
to be entered and saved. Plug-in setups can therefore be conveniently
transferred if different options for plug-in use in Samplitude 11.5 Producer are
used.
Copy/paste: Entire plug-in configurations can be transferred between different
tracks and objects.
Play/stop: This button activates the real-time preview of the active plug-in
listed on the left. This function is ideal for testing the settings of a plug-in if it
operates quickly enough for real-time calculation.
Settings: Opens the following dialog...
DirectX / VST plug-in set-up
The “Write DirectX logfile” option only serves support purposes and should
normally be switched off.
The “Start all object-related plug-ins” option can be activated at play/start.
Some plug-ins cause delays when switched on, and in this case they should
be switched on at play/start, because otherwise there could be a failure when
the relevant object starts to play.
Deactivate all DirectX effects during the scrubbing/jogging: Under certain
circumstance DirectX plug-ins can cause errors during the scrubbing/jogging
or simply break down. With this option the link to the DirectX plug-ins can be
deactivated and thus circumvented.
