FXpansion VST to RTAS Adapter v2.0
MIDI (Yes/No)
Indicates if a plug-in supports MIDI.
In order for a plug-in to synchronize with the tempo of your Pro Tools session,
it requires a MIDI port. Some plug-ins do not possess this by default: manually
changing this parameter to ‘Yes’ forces the plug-in to be MIDI-enabled, thereby
enabling host tempo synchronization.
Type (Effect/Instrument)
Indicates whether a plug-in is an effect or an instrument. Some plug-ins do not
properly declare whether they are instruments or effects: this parameter allows
you to manually set the plug-in type.
Vendor
Like the Display name, this field can be edited. Pro Tools 7 allows you to or-
ganise your plug-in menu by manufacturer (this can be set up in the Pro Tools
preferences). Many plug-ins omit this field, in which case it will be shown as
(unknown), and there can also be inconsistencies in the vendor name for plug-
ins from the same manufacturer. Click on the vendor name in order to edit it.
Ins
This column displays the number of inputs for each plug-in. If a plug-in pos-
sesses more than inputs (there are some plug-ins like this, designed to be
used in modular environments like Plogue Bidule or EnergyXT) it can still be
wrapped, but Pro Tools will utilize only the first inputs. Generally, instrument
plug-ins will possess no inputs.
Outs
This column shows the number of outputs for each plug-in. Pro Tools 7 can han-
dle multiple outputs from a plug-in: please refer to your Pro Tools documentation
for more details on utilizing multiple outputs.
CanMono
This column reports whether a plug-in can operate in mono. If a mono to stereo
or stereo to stereo plug-in can operate in mono, it will also appear as a mono
plug-in in Pro Tools. This parameter is user-editable, so that you can force plug-
ins to operate in mono.
File
The full path and filename of the wrapped VST plug-in is shown here. Wrapped
plug-ins require the original VST plug-in in order to function.
