The Plug-in Manager

The Plug-in Manager lets you scan for new plug-ins and manage the existing ones. Choose Plug-in Manager... from the Plug-ins menu to access the plug-in manager.

Plug-in Manager

The plug-in manager in Acoustica is shown above with a list of detected plug-ins.

Scanning for new plug-ins

You can scan for new plug-ins using the Scan for changes button. Only newly added plug-ins will be validated and no longer existing plug-ins will be removed. If you click the Rescan all button, Acoustica will validate all plug-ins including those who have already been validated successfully.

Note: You can remove one or more plug-ins from the list by clicking it's entry in the list and press the delete key.

You can also choose how Acoustica should sort plug-ins in the plug-in menu. Click the drop-down list for different sorting options.

Plug-in Folders

The VST3 and AU plug-in standards define the directory where plug-ins are situated. That's not the case for VST prior to version 3, though, and you can add or remove VST search folders by clicking the Folders... button. The following window appears:

VST Directories

You can click the button with the plus icon to add a folder and the button with the minus icon to remove an existing entry. Furthermore, you can rearrange the search order using the up and down arrow buttons. Click OK when you are done.
