Cubase and Nuendo
PluginPie uses Accessibility to insert plug-ins in Cubase and Nuendo.
Adding plug-ins
In the top-right corner of the PluginPie Editor, choose + Add Plug-in.
Entry fields
| Name | The name shown in PluginPie. When Search Alias is empty, PluginPie uses this value to find the device in Cubase/Nuendo. |
|---|---|
| Search Alias | Optional alternate lookup text. When this field has a value, PluginPie uses it instead of Name to search. |
| Vendor | Optional metadata, has no effect on plug-in lookup. |
Using an alias
Leave Search Alias empty for a normal Name lookup. Add an alias only when the plug-in label in Cubase/Nuendo differs from the name you want shown in PluginPie.
Insert a plug-in
You need to position your mouse over an insert slot to insert a plug-in from PluginPie.
- Hover your mouse over the target insert slot. If you want to replace a plug-in, position it over the down arrow.
- Open a Pie using its assigned hotkey and select a plug-in.
- PluginPie opens Cubase/Nuendo plug-in menu and automatically fills the search bar with the plug-in name or alias.
- If Insert after search is enabled in settings, the first result is automatically inserted as soon as it appears.
Troubleshooting Cubase and Nuendo
Nothing happens when I try to insert
Make sure the mouse is correctly positioned over an insert slot before you activate a hotkey.
The wrong plug-in is getting inserted
Go to PluginPie settings and disable Insert after search. This will allow you to see what results appear when searching your name/alias.
