What is VST Plugin Host?

The term VST was coined by Steinberg some years ago as an abbreviation for „Virtual Studio Technology“. It is an interface definition that allows communication between a VST Host and virtual effects and instruments. These effects and instruments are implemented as separate units and can be “plugged into” the VST host wherever they’re needed, thus they are commonly called “PlugIns”. The VST host sends audio data streams from to the PlugIns in a special format and adds their output to its own audio processing.

There are two kinds of VST PlugIns: effects and instruments. The distinction is that effects process an incoming audio stream, while instruments create their own – they are triggered by MIDI events, just like an external synthesizer would be.

Use the Options->Audio Plugins… menu to manage plugins.
