Plugin Effects

VST/AU/LADSPA Effects

Plugin effects (VSTs on windows, VSTs or Audio Units on OSX, VSTs or LADSPAs on Linux) can be added and used just like other Track DSPs in Renoise, but you maybe first have to configure them in Renoise preferences. If you can't find your plugins in the Track DSP list in Renoise, then please have a look at the Plugin Preferences first.

Plugin Effect Layout and Options

Beside of the usual options in every track effects, plug-in effects may have a few extra options:

• File:Vvoois renoise effect expand parameter frame.png: Shows/Hide the plug-in parameters, just like parameters from Renoise internal effects
• File:Vvoois renoise effect editor.png: Opens the plug-ins custom external editor.
• File:Vvoois renoise vst info.png: Shows various information about the plug-in. When hovering it, a tool tip will be displayed with some information about the plug-in like which file its loaded from, how much latency it introduces and so on.

Plugin Compatibility Settings

When clicking the ? button an option dialogue will show up which allows you to set up some compatibility options for the plugin.

Any of these options are optional, and will in most cases already have the "right" settings: Renoise comes with a database, which sets up the correct defaults for you. If you are experiencing an of the described problems in the dialog, then you may try playing around with the settings. When reporting problems with plug-ins to us, we maybe also will advise you to change some of the options - will assist you in doing so.

Sending Notes to Effect plug-ins

Since Renoise v2.0, you can also send notes and other instrument alike events to effect plugins. This is done by creating FX alias instruments. For more information, have a look at Plug-in FX Aliases in the Instrument Settings please.
