Upon your selection the selected Plug-in sits at the top of the Plug-in List, in the first
Plug-in slot of the Sound (in our example). In addition, some Native Instruments and Ex-
ternal Plug-ins will automatically open in a floating window (see section ↑6.3.1, Opening/
Closing Plug-in Windows for more on this).
You will notice that the “+” sign has moved to the next slot. Clicking it would allow you to load
a Plug-in into the next Plug-in slot of that Sound, and so on.
Instead of using the Plug-in menu to load a Plug-in with its default settings, you can
also use the Browser to load a particular preset for a Plug-in. In particular, this can
come in handy to insert a new Plug-in between two existing Plug-ins of the Plug-in List.
Please refer to chapter ↑3.2, Searching and Loading Files from the Library for more in-
formation.
