9.583 PLUGINS... AND COUNTING

PlugSearch is the worlds first tool that automatically categories your Plug-ins using its extensive and ever growing database. Thousands of Plug-ins have been assigned to up to three categories, and you can search by category name or dive right into the list of categories.

Want to know which reverb Plug-ins you own? Just go to the 'reverb' category and PlugSearch lists them for you. Or use the Plug-In info panel to see which categories are assigned, and go from there to see similar Plug-Ins. And with PlugSearch 4, you can change the assigned categories if you like.

MIDI CONTROL

PlugSearch 4 integrates perfectly with any MIDI controller or MIDI enabled application. Use MIDI CC to insert a Plug-In immediately on the next available insert slot of the selected track.

Setup is easy with the new CONTROL GRIDS window, mirroring the layout of popular controllers like Stream Deck and MetaGrid Pro.

technical

PlugSearch runs as a background process in the Finder's task bar. Its key commands are only active when Logic Pro is the frontmost application.

PlugSearch uses Accessibility functionality and priviliges to detect and act on Logic Pro's user interface elements. It does not interfere with Logic Pro's default functionality.
