What VST do you have, how many VSTs do you have, oh I got a new VST. So much so that the term VST is often used instead of the term plugin. Almost all recording apps allow you to use VST plugins inside of them. Where this matters is with your host, whether it’s Logic, Ableton, FL Studio, whatever your recording app is, you need to check what file types it allows. You won’t get a different sound, different controls. The Primer, for example, comes as a VST and AU. Now, you’ve probably come across different plugin formats, like VST, AU, and maybe even AAX.

And I did it the same way, I just downloaded it, and I installed it, that’s how you install all plugins. So I have installed the plugin version of Syntorial synth, it’s called Primer.
