+ The Plugin Manager serves two purposes. Primarily it is used to + control the display status of plugins. It can also be used to find and insert + plugins into the + Processor Box. It is + displayed either by a double-click in the Processor Box or by + choosing New Plugin > Plugin Manager... from the + Processor Box context menu. +
- - ++ Displayed for each plugin is the status (normal, favorite, hidden), + name, type, category, creator (author), and the number of audio and MIDI + connections. The plugins can be sorted by clicking on a column header. +
+ + + ++ Click on a Fav(orite) or Hide radio button to change a plugin's display status. + Clicking on an already selected radio button will cancel it, returning the + plugin to the normal display status. Plugins marked as a favorite show up in + the Processor Box context menu under + New Plugin > Favorites. Setting the hide + radio button on a plugin will keep the plugin from showing in the + Processor Box context menus + New Plugin > By Creator or + New Plugin > By Category. +
+ ++ The middle of the Plugin Manager is used to filter the listed + plugins. Typing into the text-box will filter the plugins based on the filter + mode selected by drop-down box. Clicking Clear + empties the text-box. +
+ ++ The bottom half of the plugin manager shows plugins that have been selected + for insertion into the Processor Box. A plugin can be added by + either double clicking the plugin entry in the top half, or, if already + selected in top half, by clicking Add. +
+ +
+ Plugins can be removed from the bottom half with a double click, or, if + already selected, by clicking Remove. +
