Info

Direct X Plug-insin Pyramix <strong>V6</strong>.1, DirectSound / DirectX plug-ins can only be used inside a suitable “VST Wrapper”. There are severalfreely available, for example from Vincent Burel.Important! Projects and templates created with previous versions of Pyramix may well containDirect X plug-ins. If a Project or Template is loaded which contains Direct X plug-ins then thesewill be visible in the mixer but cannot be activated.However, if such a Project is “Saved As” V5.1 then these plug-ins will be active if the Project is subsequentlyopened in a system running V5.1.Effects and Plug-Ins : VST Support 13 - 260
External EffectsAny Pyramix Bus can be routed to any physical output. Thus, an Aux can be routed via a physical output to anexternal effect. The output of the external effect is simply brought back into Pyramix via one of the physical inputs.However, a delay will be introduced by the external processor and the converters. If the return needs to be timealignedwith other signals please see: Mixer Delay Compensation on page 177External InsertTo add an External Insert simply right-click over the strip where the plug-in is to be added and choose: VS3 Effects> Add > Other > External InsertClicking on the External Input name in the strip opens the External Insert Control Window.Mixer Strip External Insert Plug-in Control WindowSend and Return Connections can be made by clicking on the XLR icons and levels set with the knobs. When youhave determined the delay introduced by the I/O loop including the external effect the value in samples should beentered in the Ext. Unit Delay field.VST - Plug-In On/Off and BypassEffects and Plug-Ins : External Effects 13 - 261
