You can add multiple vst/dx paths from the vst menu.
The vst menu makes it look like you can only add one user vst path but this is not the case:
"(multiple VST plug-in folders may be used).
Simply enter one VST plug-in folder path, then using the folder icon on the right, have Samplitude
scan this chosen folder. Then enter in a 2nd VST plug-in folder and rescan using the
folder icon. Now the contents of both VST plug-in folders are available. Samplitude
will automatically find new plug-ins that have been installed if they are present in the
specified folders."
Yes, I've never liked the way they did this in Samp - it's unintuitive to change the path to a new folder and then expect Samp to remember the previous path. But I understand that improving VST management is already a feature request for Samp.
BTW, good tips.
This is one of the stranger conventions in Samplitude, as it's unlike any piece of software of any type that I've ever seen. Dropdown lists have historically represented a single piece of data. When you choose an item from a listbox, it's a little shocking when you realize you've just added a second selection rather than replacing the first.
As long as they're consistent, which they seem to be, you can get used to such annoyances, er, innovations.
Just as we did when Windows first made us go to a Start button to stop the computer. We initially laughed at the recycle bin, where nothing actually gets thrown away without additional effort. That seemed over the top even here in green, recycle-obsessed Seattle. I still hate the Windows makes you hunt for system settings, but I suppose I'll eventually get used to that, too.
