Plug-in Manager:
This option opens a separate window, the Plug-in Manager, where you can select which plug-ins you
want to enable for Automap control.
6.4 THE PLUG-IN MANAGER
It is possible to control any VST, AU or Pro Tools (RTAS & TDM) format plug-in using Automap Universal, however a plug-in
must first be enabled for Automap control in the Plug-in Manager (note Pro Tools plug-in format support is only currently
available on Mac). Once enabled it will be “wrapped”, meaning that a new version of the plug-in will be created which is
contained within the Automap software.
The left-hand list in the Plug-in Manager window shows all plug-ins installed on your system and the right-hand list shows
all plug-ins that have been wrapped. To select a plug-in to be wrapped for Automap control, simply drag it from the left-
hand list to the right-hand list. You can ctrl-click (PC) or command-click (Mac) to select multiple plug-ins in either list. Once
you have dragged all plug-ins that you want to wrap, click ‘OK’ to close the Plug-in Manager window. You can wrap as many
VST or RTAS plug-ins as you like, but only a maximum of 256 AU plug-ins can be wrapped. If you wrap a plug-in whilst your
sequencer is running then you will need to restart your sequencer before the wrapped version will be available to use.
Mac OSX Windows
When running in Windows, the Plug-in Manager has the option to add or remove VST folders. Use these options to make
sure all of your VST plug-in folders appear in the ‘VST plug-in folders’ list so that all plug-ins are scanned by the Plug-in
Manager. On Windows computers only, once a VST plug-in has been wrapped, a new *.dll file will be created for that plug-in
in the same folder as the original plug-in *.dll file. You can move the new *.dll file to any location you like on your computer,
e.g. to a separate VST plug-ins folder or a subfolder in your current VST plug-ins folder.
