Not really, only if you want to use the midi input feature. Anyway, just to remember how we modify a plugin for a VST synth: 1st. After inserting the AutoTune in the Fx bin, tab to VST preset menu and do enter to open the configuration page. 2nd. Go down with middle arro to plugin properties and do enter. 3rd. Then, tab to plugin properties, check to enable as synth.

Gord told us how to do it awhile back but I can't remember how darn it.
