You can tweak any of the controls on a single VST effects plug-in. Most
VST effects provide a built-in GUI (graphics user interface) in which you can
interact with the module. These GUI's can be very elaborate, providing the
ability to modify any of the parameters which control the audio output.
They also can provide other useful information such as professional graphic
visualizations useful in audio analysis.
VST Graphics Editor
Some VST effects plug-ins provide a graphics editor. This allows you to access the built-in GUI that was designed by the author of the plug-in. You can visually interact with the plug-in
and have full control over each of the plug-in's parameters.
To access the VST Graphics Editor, click on a VST Effects Widget in the
workspace to highlight a VST effect, then choose the "Tools>Graphics Editor..." menu
item. You can also launch the editor by clicking on the toolbar button or
widget button with the wrench symbol.
Note: each VST effect will have different looking GUI. Here is an example
of the Graphics Editor for a plug-in called "themodulator2":
VST Parameters
All VST effects have the ability to display each of the individual parameters in
a list. This allows you to tweak each parameter with a high degree of control.
