• Starting the Voice Editor in the host application as a plug-in software.
The Plug-in Board Editor can be used as a plug-in software in any host application compatible
with Open Plug-in Technology (OPT). Refer to the owner's manual of the host application
(sequencer, etc.) 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 program. 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.
About the OPT Levels
The client application and its compatibility with OPT can be divided into three levels, as shown
below.
Level 1 – OPT Panels provides basic support for opening and displaying OPT control
panels that can transmit data via the clients' external MIDI ports. Typically this will
allow basic hardware editor control panels to operate properly.
Level 2 – OPT Processors provides support for real-time MIDI processors and panel
automation. Typically this will allow both real-time and offline MIDI effects to operate
properly and supply automation to OPT panels.
Level 3 – OPT Views provides support for edit views and MIDI processors/panels that
require direct access to client program storage structures. Typically this will allow
sophisticated MIDI edit views to be supported.
