When I start a new song I usually open up the right zone and drag instruments into the project. This works well for me when the instrument is very specific - e.g. Superior Drummer 3 for whenever I want real drums. But it’s less effective for big samplers like Kontakt or Play where I have lots of different libraries but can only really see them inside Cubase once I decide to load the VSTi and then open it up to browse what is available.
What I’d like is to be able to create some VSTi presets and then be able to see them in the VST instruments list, ideally with the ability to take screenshots the same way we do for the instruments themselves.
I don’t think so, the way you describe it… However, why not sticking with how the mediaBay already works in the right zone? I find it pretty comprehensive. Here’s for example a screenshot of my vsts in this zone:
You could save track presets = a track with a Kontakt instance, with a particular library loaded, with Inserts and channel strip settings if you want.
And can load them from right zone but not sure if this is what you have in mind.
Looks like I could load VSTi presets from the ‘Show all items’ list above as suggested, so that’s an option. Shame it doesn’t have the pictures like the plugins do, but I’ll cope! Same for track templates. Thanks all.
