Whitelisting VST instruments
You must whitelist any VST 2 instruments you want to use in Dorico Pro. After you have whitelisted plug-ins once, they are available in any project.
A default vst2whitelist.txt file is included with your Dorico Pro installation, which lists VST 2.x plug-ins that Steinberg has qualified for use with Dorico Pro.
Procedure
- Press Ctrl/Cmd-, (comma) to open Preferences.
- Click Play in the page list.
- In the VST Plug-ins subsection, click Edit VST2 Whitelist to open the vst2whitelist.txt file in a text editor.
-
Enter the names of the VST plug-ins you want to whitelist.
Note
-
Each plug-in must have its own line in the text file.
-
Do not include the plug-in file extension (.dll on Windows and .vst on macOS).
-
- Save and close the text file.
- Click Close to close the Preferences dialog.
- Quit Dorico Pro.
Result
When Dorico Pro next opens, your whitelisted VST plug-in entries are available for use in the program.
