Using the String Studio as a Plug-In
String Studio is available in VST, DXi, AudioUnit and RTAS (for Mac OS only) formats and
integrates seamlessly into the industry most popular multi-track recording and sequencing envi-
ronments as a virtual instrument plug-in. The plug-in versions will work exactly the same way as
the standalone version, except for the audio, MIDI, and latency configurations that will be taken
care of by the host sequencer. Furthermore String Studio works as any other plug-in in these en-
vironments so we recommend that you refer to your sequencer documentation in case you have
problems running String Studio as a plug-in. We review here some general points to keep in mind
when using a plug-in version of String Studio.
7.1
Window Size
The size of the String Studio window is fixed as in the standalone version. It is possible, however,
to gain some space on the screen by using the Hide Browser command from the View menu in
order to hide the browser.
7.2
Synchronization to the Host Sequencer
To synchronize String Studio with the clock of a host sequencer, select the External Source option
in the Source drop down menu of the Clock module and make sure that the Sync control of the
Effects, LFO and Arpeggiator modules are set to their On position.
7.3
Audio and MIDI parameters
When String Studio is used as a plug-in, the audio and MIDI ports, sampling rate, buffer size, and
audio format are determined by the host sequencer.
7.4
Automation
String Studio supports automation functions of host sequencers. Automation can usually be done
by using MIDI links and recording MIDI events, or by recording the motion of controls on the
interface.
7.5
Multiple Instances
Multiple instances of String Studio can be launched simultaneously in a host sequencer.
