Content of the Plug-in Menu
The entries in the Plug-in menu differ according to the Plug-in slot from which you are calling
the menu:
▪ The first Plug-in slots of Sounds accepts both Instrument and Effect Plug-ins. The entries
available in their Plug-in menu are listed in the following table.
▪ All other Plug-in slots at the Sound, Group, and Master level only accept Effect Plug-ins.
Therefore, their Plug-in menus and submenus provide the same entries except all entries
for Instrument Plug-ins.
The Plug-in menus can have following entries, from top to bottom:
Plug-in Menu Entry Description
Plug-ins
Presets submenu (only
when a Native Instruments
