“Effects” type will be displayed within the Ef-
fects subfolder.

Manufacturer

Organizes plug-ins by their manu-

facturer (such as Bomb Factory, Digidesign, and
Trillium Lane Labs), with individual plug-ins
listed in the manufacturer submenus. Plug-ins
that do not have a Manufacturer defined will ap-
pear in the “Other” manufacturer folder.

Most Digidesign-distributed third-party plug-ins
will be grouped under Digidesign when this op-
tion is enabled.

Category and Manufacturer

Organizes plug-ins

in two levels of menus. The top menus display
plug-ins by process category (such as EQ, Dy-
namics, and Delay), with individual plug-ins
listed in the category submenus. The bottom
menus display plug-ins by manufacturer (such
as Bomb Factory, Digidesign, and Trillium Lane
Labs), with individual plug-ins listed in the
manufacturer submenus.

To select how plug-ins are organized:

1

Open or create a session.

2

Choose Setup > Preferences, and click Display.
