PlugSearch Release Notes

Version 3.1

New Features:

  • Favourites can now also be managed from the Plug-In Info Panel, by clicking the yellow Favourite star button
  • PlugSearch now supports dark or light system Appearance settings, which can be set from the Preferences window
  • Favourites can now be triggered by sending CC messages to the MIDI port set in the Preferences window. Define a CC number, and send CC values 1-127 to insert the corresponding favourite at the current or first available insert slot. Use MIDI Channel 1 for Audio FX, Channel 2 for Instruments, and Channel 3 for MIDI FX.
  • Press Option (⌥) instead of enter if you want to manually perform the last step, so you can choose between the different channel layouts (mono, stereo, multi-channel, etc.)
