Add a New VST or VSTi
If you installed a VST effect or VSTi and it does not appear on this list, click Browse . In the Open dialog box,
browse to the location of the module . Either select certain ones directly (hold down the Windows:
Ctrl
Mac:
key and click any number of VSTs) or select the folder to enable all the items inside the folder .
Before you exit Plug-in Manager, ensure all your new entries are enabled .
As Notion is a 64-bit application, for 32-bit plug-ins we recommend using J-Bridge
- you may need to run as administrator when using J-Bridge .
Exit Plug-in Manager
When ready, click the Close button to keep your changes and close the Plug-in Manager dialog box .

Manager will not appear right away in this screen’s palette of options on the right . However, if you close
Score Setup (such as by clicking the Exit Score Setup button near the top cEnter area of the score area)
and open it back up (such by clicking the button in the Toolbar), then your changes will appear .
PreSonus Native Effects™ from Studio One: EQ, Compressor, Limiter
To use the PreSonus effects, click the insert buttons in the mixer and select which effect you require .
EQ: The EQ lets you independently adjust levels of low, mid and high frequencies . Each frequency
band can be turned on or off . The top dial alters the frequency filter, with each band adjustable with
the gain control from -15dB to + 15dB . The filter Q (bandwith/resonance) can also be adjusted .
Compressor: The compressor lets you reduce gain for signals above a certain level . The Ratio specifies the amount
of compression (attenuation) that is applied; the threshold is the level at which the processor starts compressing,
the gain is to make up for the compression-induced reduction in level; attack time is the time it takes for the
signal to get fully compressed; release time is the time it takes for the signal to from the processed state back to
the original signal; the soft knee allows for a smoother transition between processed and unprocessed states .
Limiter: The Limiter prevents the output from exceeding a set level, to
prevent clipping . Select the required level with the Threshold knob .
