Re: Third-party soft synths in PT?

Hi Kevin, Nobody here uses VSL. Instantiating the plug-in wouldn't be a problem but calling up presets would almost certainly be a road block unless the presets are available in Avid's native preset format. It's possible to call up patches with assistance and save them out as Avid presets but t

Hi guys, As I said before, I am thinking of moving from sonar to ProTools. I am primarily a MIDI composer. Not an engineer. As a result, my main interest is learning all I can about working with MIDI and software synths.I realize that the instruments which come with PT are not the greatest.

Hi, If you want to edit one of the values in a list, interact with the text and press control-option-space. Then enter the new value and press enter. Stop interacting to return to the list. For example, to change the location of a MIDI event from 40.1.000 to 41.1.000, interact with the 40.1.000
