chris.r Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I'm thinking about creating my own layout, never did it before. After doing some tests and reading help file I noticed that if I add a new plugin my layout is not updated. Do I have to update manually each time I'm adding new plugins? Second question, I couldn't find a way to create single layout for both the fx and the instruments plugins. Is there a way or I have to keep two separate layouts?

Only the factory supplied "Sort By" layouts are automatically updated. 13 minutes ago, chris.r said: I couldn't find a way to create single layout for both the fx and the instruments plugins You may create a layout with both effects and synths but they will not appear together when displayed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for confirming this, Steve. 16 hours ago, scook said: You may create a layout with both effects and synths but they will not appear together when displayed. How to do it? If I open from plugin browser it's showing only one category. Is there a use for it? For example have them displayed separately in Cakewalk as effects of synths depending on what I select, like it is now, but keep them in a single layout file? Hopefully updating it with new plugins in future won't delete anything, say I want add an effect and save the layout, then the synths won't be deleted.

Building from scratch is probably not taken into account... lol I'm, like you, starting to see no advantage. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 The "Sort by" layouts are all I use except for one custom layout for effects. It is based on the "Sort by Category" layout except with nested folders so the layout is not as tall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
