Hello Everyone,

Is there a way to force a soft synth VST window to show in the multidock instead of a standalone window?

Thank you,
Adam

Drag the plugin into the Multidock is the easiest way.

That's what I am trying to avoid every time! :)

I don't think it is possible to automatically open a plug-in UI in the dock. Here is an autohotkey script to dock the currently focused window bound to the key combination Windows+d
#d::
MouseClick,Left,17,17
Send,{Down 8}{Enter}
Return

I have mine in the Synth Rack and hide/I hide it using keyboard shortcut B

Not sure we are on the same page here. I am talking about the actual synth window! You know, when you double-click on a synth in the rack, it pops up the VST application over Sonar? I want them to go DIRECTLY to the multidock.

I understood the problem as opening plug-in UIs in the dock rather than floating windows. The script I provided will work for any floating window with a "Dock in Multidock" option.

One way to do this if you use the same softsynth in multiple projects is to create a template with it already set up, and then use that template for new projects. I have one that is set up for Addictive Drums that I use a lot.

We were on the same page I just don't know of a way to do what you want within Sonar. So I was suggesting alternative ways of managing the plugins.

Seems scook has a method which he was obviously typing at the same time as me.
