Usage of more up-to-date VST PlugIns is explained here.The Wings Vioso RX Pro Licenses and higher feature a so-called DirectX-interface which allows you to add all sorts of sound effects to the soundtrack of your show. The Effect Manager is used for managing and using track-selective sound PlugIns, i.e. they always take effect on all objects on one track. 16 DirectX PlugIns are included, but, of course, you can also use any other compatible PlugIns by other producers in the music sector.

Before you can use DirectX PlugIns you need to enable the port. Click on 
Options in the tool bar below the main menu and select Project Options - Output on the left. For Audio Effects select entry DirectX (= Wings Platinum 3) and close the Options Dialog. Please note that usage of VST PlugIns will no longer be possible for this project.
Open the Effect Manager by clicking the 
Effect key in the head of the corresponding audio track.
In the field PlugIns right-click an empty entry field and select the required PlugIn. When calling up a PlugIns for the first time, it may take some time for the context menu including all PlugIns to be displayed.
Now you can see the settings dialog of the corresponding effect. Most of the effect settings can be adjusted while playing back to make the result immediately audible. Information on the individual PlugIns is available by pressing key F1 with the particular settings dialog for this PlugIn being open and active.
Once an effect has already been selected and is visible in field PlugIns, the settings dialog can be opened or activated at any time by double-clicking the effect entry. In the bottom section of the Effect Manager you can find keys for opening or closing all effects in one go.
Use the tabs in the Effect Manager to switch over to the effects contained in other sound tracks.
Activate a PlugIn by checking the box in front of the field PlugIns.
Deactivate it by unchecking the box. A deactivated PlugIn takes no effect on the sound any longer and does not require any computer capacity when playing back.
In the bottom section of the Effect Manager you can find buttons for opening or closing all effects at once.
The yellow effect button symbol in the track head will show you, even when the Effect Manager is closed, whether the effects for this track have been activated.
For every sound track you can use up to 20 PlugIns simultaneously. All the PlugIns are applied to the audio signal in the order they are listed. But you can also change this order:
Click an entry and drag it to a different location in the PlugIn list. As soon as you release the mouse key, the PlugIn entry is moved to that location. When there is already another PlugIn at that location, the two PlugIns change places.
In the Effect Manager, right-click the selected PlugIn entry and select Remove.
In the bottom section of the Effect Manager you can find buttons for opening or closing all effects at once.
