+
+Plugins +

+Plugins are small add-ons which can process a track's data. + +

+MIDI plugins operate on midi and drum tracks, and are found in +the Midi menu. + +

+Audio plugins can be applied to any track handling audio (that is, +inputs, outputs, wave tracks, synth tracks). The effects rack +section describes this. (See effects rack 2.6.1). + +

+ +

+
+The audio effects rack +

+All audio track types (Input, Output, Group, Wave, Synth, and Aux) have +an effects rack into which audio plugins can be inserted in a chain. +Currently each rack can accomodate up to four plugins. + +

+MusE currently supports LADSPA plugins and DSSI synth and effects +plugins. + +

+Plugins can be added by double-clicking on an entry in the effect rack +in the track info pane (which is shown at the left side of the arranger +when the according track is selected). Right-clicking the rack items +offers a self-explanatory popup menu. + +

+All plugin controls can be automated. (See audio automation +2.7.1). + +

+One must carefully consider how many audio inputs and outputs a plugin +has, and how may channels the particular audio track has (1 mono or +2 stereo), and how MusE uses the plugins in the rack. + +

+Learn more about this in the appendix Understanding the Effects Rack: +3 + +

+ +

+ +
+Audio plugin Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) +

Once a plugin is added, you need a way to +manipulate its controls, which affect its behaviour and operate +on the sound. + +

+MusE can show a generic GUI which contains all of the +plugin's controls arranged in a rather plain generic fashion. + +

+Some plugins may also have a native GUI which looks much better (it +was specifically designed for the plugin). + +

+Both GUI types are opened from the effects rack right-click popup menu. + +
