In the dialog that opens you should see a MIDI Playback Options option group. To add MIDI playback or monitoring to a track, open the track options dialog by clicking on the small spanner icon on the track controls. You can use VSTis to playback your MIDI clips and you can also use them to monitor any recordings you make using MIDI hardware. Playback and Monitoring of MIDI with VST InstrumentsĪ VST instrument (VSTi) is a special type of plugin which takes MIDI as its input and outputs audio. You can do this by going to the VSTs tab of MixPad's Options dialog. You must tell MixPad where to look for your VST plugins. If there are no items listed here, it means that you either do not have any VST plugins installed, or you have not configured your VST plugin path. Any valid VST plugins you have installed will be listed underneath this sub-heading. In the left hand panel of the dialog that opens you should see a sub-heading VST Effects. To add a VST effect to one of your tracks, click the Fx button in the track control panel on the left of the track. A good place to start your search is here: VST plugins are available from a wide variety of sources - some are free, while others require licences.

Other plugins may provide some type of visual feedback of the audio signal. You can use effect plugins to add an effect to one of your tracks, or you can use instrument plugins to synthesize playback of MIDI files. You can use these plugins to enhance MixPad's capabilities. MixPad supports Virtual Studio Technology (VST) plugins. Basics - VSTs VST and VSTi Plugin Support
