VST Instruments
VST instruments are software synthesizers or other sound sources that are
contained within Cubase. They are played internally via MIDI. You can add effects
or EQ to VST instruments.
Cubase allows you to make use of VST instruments in the following ways:
• By adding an instrument in the VST Instruments window (not in Cubase LE).
This creates a VST instrument channel, which can be played by one or several
MIDI tracks routed to it.
• By creating an instrument track.
This is a combination of a VST instrument, an instrument channel, and a MIDI
track. You play and record MIDI note data directly for this track.
VST Instruments Window
The VST Instruments window allows you to add VST instruments for MIDI and
instrument tracks, giving you an overview of all instruments used in a project. It also
offers you access to 8 quick controls for each added instrument.

IMPORTANT
In Cubase LE, the VST Instruments window is not available. Only instrument tracks
and the related functions can be used in this program version.
To open the VST Instruments window, select Devices > VST Instruments.
