Installing and Managing VST Plug-ins
Cubase supports the VST 2 and VST 3 plug-in standards. You
can install effects and instruments that comply with these
formats.
Note
Cubase only supports 64-bit plug-ins.
A plug-in
is a piece of software that adds a specific functionality to
Cubase. The audio effects and instruments that are used in
Cubase are VST plug-ins.
VST effect
or VST instrument plug-ins normally have their own
installation application. Read the documentation or readme
files before installing new plug-ins.
When you
scan for newly installed plug-ins or relaunch Cubase, the
new plug-ins are shown on the VST effect or VST instrument
selectors, respectively.
Cubase
comes with a number of effect plug-ins included. These
effects and their parameters are described in the separate
document “Plug-in Reference”.
