[ddots-l] Re: sonar 4 and vsts

    Hi Kevin!!

Just taken a look at that and found that I can't see a .VST instrument or DXI 
instrument in the 
inspector view ether.

I suspect that in the case of ether .VST or DXI instruments, it isn't possible 
to do this.  I think 
it is down to which parameters the affects actually expose.  For example, I 
have several .VST and 
not .vst affects here, all of which show up in the inspector view.  Note: I am 
not referring to 
instruments, just affects.

I still think with regard to .vst instruments and affects, it's best to use 
Directixer as Directixer 
can be run with the generic interface and will expose parameters if they are 
available.

Regards, Phil Muir
