When you use a VSTi plug-in in your project, ACID will lock it for the remainder of your ACID session. A lock is displayed to indicate that the plug-in cannot be removed until you close and restart the application.

To add a soft synth to your project, right-click a soft synth () in the right-hand pane and choose Insert Soft Synth from the shortcut menu. A soft synth bus is added to the Mixing Console window.
