About Open Plug-in Technology Audio Integration Plug-in software such as software synthesizers and software samplers are exceptionally convenient in that they let you easily change the various settings and parameters within the host application. However, control over hardware is not so easy-with the need for various setups such as audio connections, driver settings and MIDI port connections. By using a Studio Connections-compatible DAW software, you can control the external hardware synthesizer within the application, without the need to set up complex connections within a DAW software application- just as easily and conveniently as you would with plug-in software. The Audio Integration function makes all this possible. For details about Recall and Audio Integration, visit our web site at: http://www.studioconnections.org/ About Open Plug-in Technology Open Plug-in Technology (OPT) is a software format that enables you to control MIDI devices from a music DAW application software. For example, this allows you to start up and operate various parts of your music system, such as voice editors of the synthesizer and mixing control editors-directly from an OPT-compatible software, without having to use each separately. OPT also makes it unnecessary to set MIDI drivers for each application, streamlining your music production system and making all operations more convenient and seamless. In addition to the original OPT, Open Plug-in Technology Version 2 (OPT 2), designed for Studio Connections, is also available. The host application Studio Manager supports OPT 2. About the OPT 2 Overview OPT 2 is a plug-in format that enhances OPT Level 1 (Panels) and adds some convenient functions for Studio Connections. Host Application Studio Manager OPT2 Editor Editor Editor Plug-in software compatible with OPT 2 is indirectly connected to the DAW application compatible with Studio Connection, via the Studio Manager.
