About Open Plug-in Technology

You can start the Voice Editor for MOTIF or the File Utility software as either a stand-alone software or a plug-in application in the Open Plug-in Technology
compatible application.
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.
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 (e.g. Arpeggiators, transposers etc.) 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 sequencer storage structures. Typically
this will allow sophisticated MIDI edit views to be supported (e.g. List editors, Auto Accompaniment, Data Checkers etc.).

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).
