view multiple plugin or synth windows?

[jono grant 41]

Hi,

I need to open more than one plugin/synth window at a time to compare settings. CBL doesn't let me do it, just one at a time.

I was able to in Sonar... why is that?

Cheers

Jono

There's two ways of doing this:

1. If you always want to open more than one, uncheck the "Recycle Plugin Windows" settings within Preferences->VST Settings

2. If you only want to temporarily keep one open, click the "pin" icon at the top right of the plugin window. This will keep this plugin window open, whilst recycling the rest.

Genius! Thank you!

I'm very glad they changed to this.

You can also hold CTRL when double clicking a track name, to temporarily force opening a new VST/VSTi window even if you have recycling enabled. Handy!
