That is the insert track wizard. Try inserting the synth from the synth rack, or the main menu.

Got it. Thank you so much for your patience. I am so used to opening synths by right clicking that I didn't think to try the main menu.

BTW, I checked the link that you mentioned above, and it seems to be a 32 bit plugin, so it will open within the bit bridge wrapper. That is why you do not get the same plugin header.

You are welcome I actually never use the main menu. I either right click, use the Synth Rack or drag a track template from the browser. I especially use track templates for Reaktor synths, so I don´t need to load Reaktor first and then the synth or ensemble. If you are using something like Strummer, that involves some extra routing between tracks, I would recommend saving some track templates with it and your most often used instruments.

I doubt if I will use Strummer much as I have been playing with Ample Guitar Lite which has a pretty awesome strumming engine, but it's good that I now know how to do the Midi out thing.

Yes, and there are several other interesting additions, tweaks and fixes, too. But I took advantage of that offline activation immediately. One less thing to run in the background!

Looking forward to this one. Creating drum maps has always been a problem for me!

Hi, Ive got 8 instances of the same synth vst in a project but every now and then the synth ui stops responding, the project still plays ok but I cant alter any of the synth controls. Have I accidentally clicked something or is this a known issue? The synth in question is Linplug FreeAlpha 64 bit
