Plugin Browser¶

The plugin browser makes it easy to browse and filter plugins installed on your computer.

Filter Tabs¶

Plugins can be filtered based on various conditions using the filter tabs at the top. The following tabs are available:

Collection: This tab contains your collections. You can create collections such as MySynths and filter by the selected collections.
Author: Filter by plugin manufacturer/author.

Hint

Built-in plugins can be found under Zrythm DAW here.
Category: Filter by category (Delay, Distortion, etc.).
Protocol: Filter by protocol (LV2, SFZ, etc.).

Tip

You can mix filters from various tabs for a custom search.

Tip

Where applicable, you can Control-click to select multiple rows or deselect a row.

Additionally to the above, plugins can be filtered based on their type.

See Plugin Types for more information about the various types of plugins there are.

Plugins can also be searched by keywords using the provided search bar.

Plugins can be saved inside custom collections. Collections can be created and modified in the Collection tab by using the provided toolbar buttons.

Plugins can be added to a collection by right-clicking them and selecting a collection to add them too. A collection must be created beforehand.

There are a couple of ways to instantiate plugins:

You can drag and drop the selected plugin into empty space in the Tracklist or into empty space in the Mixer to create a new track using that plugin.

Alternatively, you can drag the plugin on a mixer slot to add it there or replace the previous plugin.

Tip

Dragging also works in plugin slots in the inspector.

If the plugin is a modulator, you can drop it into the Modulators tab.

Double click on the plugin or select it and press the return key on your keyboard to create a new track using that plugin.
