Tempo Sync
Plug-ins can receive timing and tempo information from the host application (in this
case, Cubase). Typically, this is used to synchronize certain plug-in parameters
(such as modulation rates or delay times) to the project tempo.
• This information is automatically provided to any VST plug-in (2.0 or later) that
requests it.
You do not have to make any special settings for this.
• You set up tempo sync by specifying a base note value.
You can use straight, triplet or dotted note values (1/1 to 1/32).
Please refer to the separate PDF document “Plug-in Reference” for details about
the included effects.
Insert Effects
As the name implies, insert effects are inserted into the audio signal path – this
means that the audio channel data will be routed through the effect.
In Cubase Elements, you can add up to eight different insert effects independently
for each audio-related channel (audio track, group channel track, FX channel track,
VST instrument channel, or ReWire channel) or output bus. In Cubase AI and
Cubase LE, four insert slots are available for audio-related tracks. Also, ReWire
channels are not available in Cubase LE.
The signal passes through the effects in series from the top downwards, with the
signal path shown below:
