Virtual Instrument

Keyboard synthesizer or sampler keyboard which was formerly only in the form of hardware, such as Roland, Korg, and Yamaha, has also been issued in the form of software known as a virtual instrument or often called Software Synthesizer (Soft-Synth). Virtual instrument technology allows us to make tracking orchestra, brass section, gran piano and other keyboard-sound sound without having to buy all the original instrument.

File Formats

FX plug-ins and virtual instruments have a variety of file formats, among others:

VST (Virtual Studio Technology stands) and VSTi (Virtual Studio Technology Instrument) file format is created and used for artificial Steinberg DAW such as Nuendo and Cubase.

DX (for DirectX) and DXi (DirectX Instrument) is a file format that Microsoft made with Cakewalk, which is intended for software DAW Sonar, Project5 and others.

VST and DX is a file format that supports a virtual studio and popular on the PC, the file name extension is a virtual studio ".dll". We recommend the use of virtual effects plugins and virtual instruments considered and matched with file formats that support DAW, because the plugin and virtual instrument that will work optimally in the software that was created for him.
