Try searching in the forum archives for the answers you seek. And go to kvr and look through the instruments descriptions and tutorials. It'll start to sink in. Also, enter those very general terms (VST instrument, DirectX plugin) in Google and you'll get tons of info. Diane P.S. VST instruments (VSTi--I emphasize the "i" because VST and VSTi are not the same thing) are digital instruments based on Steinberg's VST technology. Like any instrument, they play something; they make sounds. Not all software is VSTi-compatible. Acid is.
