Use the VST Plug-In Custom Folder entry to tell Live about the location of your VST Plug-ins: Click the Browse button to open a folder-search dialog for locating and selecting the appropriate folder. Once you have selected a VST Custom Folder and Live has scanned it, the path will be displayed. Note that, on Windows, Live may have found a path in the registry without the need for browsing. Make sure that the Use VST Plug-In Custom Folder option is set to On, so that your selected folder is an active source for VST Plug-ins in Live. Note that you can choose not to use your VST Plug-ins in Live by turning off the Use VST Plug-In Custom Folder option. Setting up VST Plug-In Sources for Mac OS X. Set up your VST Plug-ins under Mac OS X by doing the following: 1. Your VST Plug-ins will normally be installed in the following folder in your home CHAPTER 15. WORKING WITH INSTRUMENTS AND EFFECTS 191 and local directories: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST. You can turn Live's use of these plug-ins on or off with the Use VST Plug-ins in System Folders option. You may have an alternative folder in which you store your VST Plug-ins (perhaps those that you use only with Live). You can use VST Plug-ins in this folder in addition to, or instead of, those in the System folders. To tell Live about the location of this folder, click the Browse button next to the VST Plug-In Custom Folder entry to open a folder-search dialog for locating and selecting the appropriate folder. Note that you can turn off your VST Plug-ins in this folder using the Use VST Plug-In Custom folder option. Once you have con gured your Plug-In Preferences, the Plug-In Device Browser will display all plug-ins it nds in the selected VST Plug-in folder(s) as well as any sub-folders. It is also possible to use VST Plug-ins stored in different folders on your computer. To do this, create a Mac OS or Windows alias of the folder where additional VST Plug-ins are stored, and then place the alias in the VST Plug-In Custom folder (or in the VST Plug-In System folder on Mac OS X) selected in Live's File/Folder Preferences. The alias can point to a different partition or hard drive on your computer. Live will scan the set VST Plug-in folder as well as any alias folders contained therein. When you re-launching Live, a dialog will appear to inform you about which plug-in caused the problem. Depending on what Live detects about the plug-in, you may be given the choice between performing another scan or making the problematic plug-in unavailable. If you choose to rescan and they crash the program a second time, Live will automatically make them unavailable, meaning that they will not appear in the Plug-In Device Browser and will not be rescanned again until they are reinstalled. 15. 3. 2 VST Programs and Banks Every VST Plug-in instance owns a bank of programs. A program is meant to contain one complete set of values for the plug-in's controls. CHAPTER 15.
