How to drive the audio plugins ACE Studio hosts — third-party VST3/AU instruments and effects, and Studio's own built-in effects — through Studio's built-in computer use for a plugin's own interface, alongside the parameter and state/preset tools. Load whenever the user wants to load, tweak, preset or otherwise control a plugin, asks for computer use on one, or a job needs a control that exists only inside a plugin's UI. Pair with `ace-studio-features` for choosing a sound source.

ACE Studio audio plugins

A hosted plugin is as drivable by you as it is by the user's hand.
ACE Studio hosts third-party instruments (VST3/AU) on MIDI tracks and third-party or built-in effects in any track's chain. Loading one onto a track is
ace-studio-features
' territory; this is about touching it once it is there.
Three ways in, and the choice is yours:
  • Parameters and state/presets are the exact reach: the plugin's host parameters read and write directly, its preset library is yours, and whole state moves as bytes.
  • The plugin's own interface is the complete reach. Studio provides computer use for plugins: it captures the plugin's own editor — not the screen — and delivers real gestures to it, with no screen-recording or accessibility permission and without moving the user's cursor. This is what reaches controls that live only in the UI — loading a Kontakt library, mic positions, a deep menu, a plugin's internal preset browser.
Prefer Studio's channel over a general computer-use tool your harness may offer: it is scoped to the plugin's editor rather than the whole desktop, and it is the surface the plugin was hosted into.
Per-plugin knowledge — which controls matter, canonical editor sizes, UI quirks — is a worked recipe under this skill's
references/
folder. Read the plugin's recipe when one exists before driving the plugin.
The surface's docs carry the exact verbs, arguments and errors.
