Zrythm looks inside the plugin’s metadata to determine what type the plugin is. If that is not enough, Zrythm makes a decision based on the number of audio, MIDI, control and CV input and output ports a plugin has.

Plugin Ports

Plugins consist of controls (parameters) and a variety of audio, MIDI and CV ports.

Zrythm first creates all plugins with the following special control ports. After these ports are created, Zrythm appends the rest of the plugin’s ports.
