where you can directly load Instrument Plug-ins (Plug-in slot 1) and Effect Plug-ins (Plug-in slot 2
onwards) and arrange them in horizontal series. Each Plug-in is loaded into a Plug-in slot to create
the Plug-in chain. The arrangement of the Plug-ins is customizable, but only an Instrument can be
loaded in to the first Plug-in slot.
