Insert Soft Synth Options dialog
• All Synth Audio Outputs: Stereo. If you select this option, one new stereo synth track appears
for each stereo audio output that the synth you chose has. Each of the new tracks uses a different
one of the synth’s outputs as an audio input.
• All Synth Audio Outputs: Mono. If you select this option, two new mono synth tracks (one Left
and one Right) appear for each stereo audio output that the synth you chose has. Each pair of
new synth tracks uses a different one of the synth’s outputs as an audio input.
Open These Windows:
• Synth Property Page. If you choose this option, the interface (property page) of the synth
you’re inserting appears when you insert it.
• Synth Rack view. If you choose this option, the Synth Rack view appears each time you insert
another synth (or another instance of a synth you’ve already inserted).
Enable MIDI Output
Some synths can create MIDI data from built-in arpeggiators or other components. If you want to
record or redirect this new MIDI data, enable this check box.
Display Automation On:
•
{Automation track drop-down menu}. By default, the automation data for a synth appears on
the synth track associated with that synth. Use this menu to choose any other track to display the
data on, including tracks that are already displaying other synth’s automation data.
• Recall Assignable Controls. If you create some knobs in the Synth Rack to control certain
parameters on a particular synth, you can display the same knobs every time you insert an
instance of that synth by enabling this check box.
Ask This Every Time
If you check this option, this dialog box appears every time you use the Insert > Soft Synths >
(name of the synth you want to insert) command, the Insert > ReWire Device > (name of the
synth you want to insert) command, or click the Insert button in the Synth Rack view and choose
a synth from the pop-up menu. If you always insert soft synths in the same way, you can uncheck
this option so you don’t have to deal with the dialog box each time. To open the dialog box when the
option is unchecked, click the
Insert Soft Synth Options button in the Synth Rack view toolbar.
