VST stands for Virtual Studio Technology. Whether it's FX or instruments, it all works the same, loaded onto your computer and usually controlled via a Midi keyboard.
So you could have, say, some FX plug-ins from PSP Audioware (like their excellent new MasterQ parametric EQ) and a soft synth like VirSyn's Tera 2. Both work using the VST protocol. The term VSTi has also become generic shorthand in some cases for any plug-in, whether it's VST or AudioUnit. Strictly speaking, it refers to a VST-compatible plug-in only. If a company announces that their new plug-in is available in VST format, you need a sequencer that is VST-compatible to run it. Logic is not officially VST compatible, but using the FXpansion VST-AU wrapper, you can use VST plug-ins in Logic. And, yes - Ableton Live does work with VST plug-ins... kind of. It works with FX, although not instruments. |
