Using Instruments and Effects

To directly insert an instrument into an instrument channel strip:

1

Click the Inst 2 track name in the track list.

The Inspector updates, to reflect your selection.

2

Click the Instrument slot (the slot just below I/O) on the left Arrange channel strip.

A menu of all available software instruments is shown.

3

Simply click the ES E (Ensemble Synth) name, and the ES E synthesizer will be loaded
into this instrument channel.

The ES E plug-in window automatically opens. The Library to the right of the Arrange
window also updates, showing a list of all settings (preset patches) for the ES E.

4

Click on any of the setting names (in the Library) to load the preset into the ES E. Try
this with a few settings, playing your keyboard after you’ve loaded each new patch.

Tip: An alternative way to load settings is found in the plug-in window header. This is
discussed in “

Editing Instruments and Effects

” on page 58.
