Stupid question for the day - Categories in Plugin list?

Post by BKK-OZ »

When you go to insert a plugin, the selection dialogue box comes up with 'Categories'. These are all for MOTU plugs. If you right-click (ctrl-click) on any plugin, you get options to 'Create a New Category from Selection' or 'New Category'.

But how does one add a plugin to an existing category, so that, for example all reverb plugs, MOTU and 3rd party, show up under 'Reverbs'.

I am sure it is something simple, but I just can't figure it out.

I offer one (1) beer to the poster of the first helpful suggestion (to be redeemed when we next meet).

…string theory says that all subatomic particles of the universe are nothing but musical notes. A, B-flat, C-sharp, correspond to electrons, neutrinos, quarks, and what have you. Therefore, physics is nothing but the laws of harmony of these strings. Chemistry is nothing but the melodies we can play on these strings. The universe is a symphony of strings and the mind of God… it is cosmic music resonating through 11 dimensional hyperspace.

You just drag and drop the plugins into your User Categories. I don't think you can modify the preset categories for MOTU plugins, but you can put the MOTU plugins into your User Categories.

Yeah, I know I can create new categories, but I was wondering if I can use the existing categories somehow.
