The lists of all effects or VST instruments are created automatically every time
you start Cubase. You can also initiate a rescan at any time. This ensures that
these lists are always up-to-date.
You can create your own lists of effects or instruments for use in the selectors
for effects or instruments. User-defined lists are called collections.
Collections allow you to create sub-sets of the available effects or
instruments, for example, to give you a better overview of the effects used in
a project.
NOTE
If an installed effect or instrument cannot be loaded by Cubase, it does not
appear in the list of all effects or instruments. Also, the effect or instrument is
grayed out in any collections in which it is included. For example, this can
happen if a copy-protection dongle required to run the effect or instrument is
missing, or after deinstallation of a plug-in.
Plug-in Manager Window
You can manage your effects and VST instruments in the Plug-in Manager window.
To open the Plug-in Manager window, select Devices > Plug-in Manager.
