Commands and the Tools menu

Detect and wrap VST plug-ins...

Clicking this button is a one-click method of scanning the specified VST folders
and automatically creating wrapped RTAS plug-ins from them. Use this method
if you want to quickly convert all your VST plug-ins into RTAS plug-ins.

If you’d prefer to scan for available VST plug-ins and selectively decide which
plug-ins to wrap into RTAS, you should use the ‘Detect new VST plug-ins’
command in the Tools menu, in conjunction with the ‘Wrap’ parameter in the
Wrapping Options.

Extra commands in the Tools menu

• Detect new VST plug-ins

Running this command detects any VST plug-ins not already in the list. Any
newly-found plug-ins are

not automatically wrapped: to wrap them, set the

‘Wrap’ parameter to ‘Yes’.

• Re-detect and wrap selected VST plug-in

During the detection process, any plug-in which does not respond within about
seconds is marked as invalid. This can happen for a variety of reasons: a plug-
in may try to display a dialog box or require authorization upon first launch, for
example.

The ‘Re-detect and wrap selected VST plug-in’ command is provided for plug-ins
like this which require special attention. It permits a much longer period (around
minutes) for the plug-in to respond before timing out.

• Remove all wrappers

This command removes any wrapped plug-ins from the system, and clears the
list of detected plug-ins.
