You know all those times when you’re working on fine tuning an instrument, and later you realize it was the one from another track? Probably both have the same instrument, but slightly different, like Violin 1 and the other is Violin 2. So you’re fine tuning violin 1 but thinking you’re tuning violi…

No because there is no common Window used by different VSTi’s (or instances of the same VSTi). So each Instrument is going to have it’s own dedicated Window. There have been feature requests for this, so maybe someday it will appear.

But there is a common window. Every DAW has its own window that acts as a frame for the plugin the user selected: [Screenshot 2023-11-25 at 9.31.14 PM] Same way that Logic has its own window with a toolbar as you can see in the screenshot in my first post.

Sorry, am I missing something? As far as I can tell the whole video is about Logic. I already know Logic has that feature, my question was if Cubase has it.

I was sending the link to the previous feature request that was referred to. The more votes the more likely they’ll try and implement :slight_smile:

[image] Sebastian_Alvarez: the next time the user clicks on the instrument button in the track header, it won’t open the VST GUI in another window but replace the VST that is in the window already open? Hi, if you can compromise with a shortcut instead of a click, you can give this macro a tr…

Intelligent window switching of VSTs when switching tracks Cubase

Hi there - I appear to be spamming the Cubase forum… forgive me. However… At 1:49 in the following video, Homay from Spitfire Audio demonstrates the ‘link’ icon in Logic, which opens the corresponding vst instrument plugin window when switching tracks. At the moment, my workflow involves selecting the track, and then opening the track up with the ‘edit instrument’ control in the track inspector. I have that on a keyboard shortcut, but this instant, ‘intelligent’ switching would speed my workflo…
