Samplitude provides the option to integrate software instruments according to VSTi
standards or via ReWire into a VIP and these can then be controlled via the internal MIDI
functions and editors.
Software instruments can be accessed as audio track inputs and as mixer channels. In this
way, the audio signals of a VST instrument can be further edited with all options offered by
the mixer, including the EQ, effects, and routing.
VST instruments offer sample-precise timing of MIDI events. The maximum number of
plug-ins is only limited to processor performance. You can increase the number of applied
VSTs almost unlimitedly by using the integrated freeze function
Installation of VST plug-ins
Install every VST plug-in according to the manufacturer's instructions. VST instruments and
VST effects are not entered into the Windows registry, but must be saved in a certain
directory.
Samplitude searches for installed VST instruments in the "VST plug-ins" program subfolder.
You can install your VST instruments either in this folder or use any other path. If you
already have VST plug-ins installed on your system, use the already existing folder. You will,
however, have to enter this foreign path in the system settings ("Y" key) in the "Effects ->
VST/DirectX/ReWire" subdialog (entering multiple paths is also possible). Simply enter
one path after the other, all paths will be taken into consideration. Samplitude will
automatically find newly installed plug-ins contained within the selected folders. If you add
VST plug-in subfolders into the main VST folder (e.g. "Equalizers", "Filters", "Modulation",
etc.), then these will be displayed as submenus when VST plug-ins are loaded.
The first time the program is opened, a search for existing instruments and plug-ins is
executed when the track settings are opened. Here, not only are all the plug-ins imported,
but they are also checked for their usability within the program. This search is only
necessary once, the next time it is opened, the track settings will be opened immediately.
Tip: If you have problems with your current configuration, you can reset all paths and
installed instruments or plug-ins. To do this, delete the "VSTPlug-Ins.ini" file in the
Samplitude folder. All paths will have to be newly entered. Plug-ins which were removed
from the program prior to this will still be shown again.
