Recycle plug-in windows

By default, Music Creator recycles the currently-open plug-in window when you open a new plug-in UI, and all previously open plug-in windows are closed. This prevents Music Creator from being filled with numerous open plug-in windows, and you don’t have to manually close plug-in windows that are no longer needed.

If you prefer to always open a separate window for each plug-in, go to Edit > Preferences > File - VST Settings and clear the Recycle Plug-in Windows check box.

To toggle the current behavior, hold down the CTRL key when you open a plug-in UI:

If Recycle Plug-in Windows is enabled when you hold down the CTRL key to open a plug-in, all other open plug-in widows also become pinned.

If Recycle Plug-in Windows is disabled when you hold down the CTRL key to open a plug-in, all other open plug-in widows close, and the new plug-in window is unpinned.

To pin a plug-in window so it remains on screen when subsequent plug-ins are opened, click the window’s Pin Plug-in Window button .

Pinning windows is the only way you can have multiple plug-in windows open simultaneously.

 

Note: Plug-ins that are docked in the MultiDock are not affected by the Recycle Plug-in Windows setting. Docked plug-ins are automatically pinned and cannot be unpinned. To dock a plug-in window, hold down the CTRL key and drag the window to the MultiDock.

 

Note: Plug-in window recycling is disabled when loading projects, which ensures that projects open with all previously open windows.
