Start the Plug-in Board Editor in the client application as a plug-in software
The Plug-in Board Editor can be used as a plug-in software in any client application compatible
with Open Plug-in Technology (OPT). Refer to the owner's manual of the client application for
details on using plug-in software.
About Open Plug-in Technology
Open Plug-in Technology (OPT) is a newly developed software format that allows control over MIDI
devices from a music software sequencer. For example, this allows you to start up and operate various
parts of your music system, such as plug-in board editors, and mixing control editors — directly from an
OPT-compatible sequencer, without having to use each separately. This also makes it unnecessary to
set MIDI drivers for each application, streamlining your music production system and making all
operations more convenient and seamless.
OPT Level Implementation for the Plug-in Board Editor
The client application and its compatibility with OPT can be divided into three levels, as shown
below. (For more information, refer to the documentation or help files included with the client
application.)
This chart shows the OPT-compatibility of the Plug-in Board Editor.
OPT levels of the client
application
VIEWS (Level 3)
PROCESSORS (Level 2)
PANELS (Level 1)
NOTE: Certain operations may not work as expected if there is no corresponding function in the client
application (sequencer, etc.). The highest level of implementation for the client application is
indicated in the OPT logo (which appears along with the version information in the application).
