Any way to have 2 VST plugin's showing at the same time?

[mikehende]

In any VST host, is it possible to have the interfaces of 2 fx plugins [say one reverb and one delay] showing at the same time so I can easily trigger between any of the two?

[beely]

Sure. Haven't you seen scores of YouTube videos with people having multiple plugins open on screen..?

Not sure what you mean by "trigger between" though...

I keep 3 or 4 open in Bitwig every time I use it. What DAW are you using?

[mikehende]

I want to test like in Reaper but when I press it's fx button I am seeing the option to choose only one.

[thecontrolcentre]

Yes, its possible. It'll be somewhere in your DAWs preferences menu ...

In Reaper, if you double click the effect on the list it will open its GUI in a floating window.

Maybe I'm not understanding. Please see attached screenshot. When I hit that green fx button, I can choose which fx, so I select an fx and out opens but if I hit that fx button a second time it only closes the open fx window?

[hekke]

Yeah, the green button will just switch the FX window on/off, so don't touch it Try double clicking on the name of effect.

This is on Windows, but here's what happens:

after you double click

Maybe you are not understanding me [sorry] but one step closer.



So I can switch between the 2 fx showing [thanks] BUT what I am seeking is to have BOTH fx interfaces showing at the same time on my screen.

In your screenshot you have only one fx interface or window showing too.

[mikehende]

In order words, side by side like this?



This way I can simply select whichever one or bypass any of the two fx

Try double clicking on the effect name as I wrote in my first post. I recorded this animation for you:

Right click (does mac have a right click yet? ) on the green FX button on the channel and you should get the FX on the track listed at top, the one you select there will open in a own window, do the same with the other FX you want to have open.

[mikehende]

Perfecto!! Thanks a million!

Now that I know this works, next step will be to trigger those fx's from a phone app.

Maybe you should include Reaper in the topic title?
