The Plug-in Manager window shows the following:
VST Effects/VST Instruments
Open these tabs to see lists of all VST
effects and VST instruments that were
loaded by Cubase when you launched the program.
Collection list
By default, the window section to the right shows the Defa
ult collection,
which contains all effects or VST instruments currently loaded by the program.
The Default collection cannot be changed.
You can compile your own collections of effects or VST instruments by
clic
king New Collection and dragging and dropping items from the list of all
effects or VST instruments to the collection list.
Collections are shown in the selectors for effects/VST instruments, and all
c
hanges made to collections in the Plug-in Manager are immediately
reflected in the selectors.
Enter the name of a plug-in in the search field. The list of all effects or VST
instruments is filtered to show only those plug-ins whose names contain the
text that you entered.
The Toggle list to show all/show only FX/VSTi not in current collection
button allows you to filter the lists of all effects or VST instruments to show
either all loaded plug-ins, or only those that are not part of the current
collection.
The New Folder button allows you to create a new folder in the current
collection.
The Delete button allows you to delete the selected item in the current
collection.
The New Collection button allows you to create a new collection.
To create a new, empty list, select Em
pty. To create a new collection based
on the list of all effect, select Add All Plug-ins. To create a new collection
based on the current collection, select Add Current Collection.
The User Collections drop-down menu allows you to select a different
collection, and to rename or delete the current collection.
To remove unavailable plug-ins from all collections, select Remove
U
