Installing VST 2 Plug-ins on Mac OS X Systems
To install a VST 2.x plug-in on Mac OS X systems, quit Cubase and drag the plug-in
file to one of the following folders:
• Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/
This is only possible if you are the system administrator. Plug-ins that are
installed in this folder are available to all users, for all programs that support
VST 2.x.
• user name>/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/
<user name> is the name you use to log on to the computer. The easiest way
to open this folder is to go to your Home folder and use the path
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/ from there. Plug-ins that are installed
in this folder are only available to you.
When you scan for newly installed plug-ins, or relaunch Cubase, the new effects
appear on the effect selectors.
Installing VST 3 Plug-ins on Windows Systems
On Windows systems, VST 3 plug-ins are installed by dragging the files with the
extension .vst3 into the VST3 folder in the Cubase application folder. When you
scan for newly installed plug-ins, or relaunch Cubase, the new effects appear on
the effect selectors. In the VST 3 protocol, the effect category, subfolder structure,
etc. are built-in and cannot be changed. Therefore, you find the new effects in the
corresponding category folders.
Installing VST 2 Plug-ins on Windows Systems
On Windows systems, VST 2.x plug-ins are installed by dragging the files with the
extension .dll into the Vstplugins folder in the Cubase application folder, or into
the Shared VST Plug-ins folder (Windows 32
bit only). When you scan for
newly installed plug-ins, or relaunch Cubase, the new effects appear on the effect
selectors.
Plug-in Manager
The Plug-in Manager provides lists of the effects and VST instruments that are
installed on your computer. These lists are used in the selectors for VST instruments
and effects.
The Plug-in Manager allows you to do the following:
• You can view lists of all effects and VST instruments that are loaded by
Cubase when you launch the program.
