8.3.4 Adding Virtual Instruments and Effects
You can add plug-ins and instruments to your Song by dragging-and-dropping
them from the browser. You can also drag an effect or group of effects from one
channel to another, drag in customized effects chains, and instantly load your
favorite virtual-instrument preset without ever scrolling through a menu.
Opening the browser.
In the lower right corner of the Arrange window are three buttons:
Edit. The Edit button opens and closes the audio and MIDI editors.
Mix. The Mix button opens and closes the Mixer window.
Browse. The Browse button opens the browser, which displays all of the
available virtual instruments, plug-in effects, audio files, and MIDI files,
as well as the pool of audio files loaded into the current session.
Drag-and-Drop Virtual Instruments
To add a virtual instrument to your session, open the browser and click on
the Instrument button. Select the instrument or one of its patches from the
Instrument browser and drag it into the Arrange view. Studio One Artist will
automatically create a new track and load the instrument as the input.
Drag-and-Drop Effects
To add a plug-in effect to a track, click the Effects button in the browser and
select the plug-in or one of its presets in the effects browser. Drag-and-drop
the selection over the track to which you would like to add the effect.
