 In Unify v1.0.12 and earlier, it was necessary to register at least one of the Unify plug-ins (VST recommended) in Unify's [[scanning|Known plug-ins list]] and use that. As of Unify v1.1.x, however, Unify is now pre-registered as a built-in plug-in, and using this is now the recommended embedding technique. In Unify v1.0.12 and earlier, it was necessary to register at least one of the Unify plug-ins (VST recommended) in Unify's [[scanning|Known plug-ins list]] and use that.

-There are also some specialized techniques for working with macro parameters in embedded Unify instances:+This change leads to some new techniques for working with MIDI and macro parameters in embedded Unify instances:
   * [[midibox|MIDIBox]] can be used to play back MIDI CC message sequences. These won't be seen by the macro knobs of the outer Unify, but can be sent to an embedded Unify instance, and will control //its// macro knobs.   * [[midibox|MIDIBox]] can be used to play back MIDI CC message sequences.

-  * **Link ALL macro knobs to new instances** (default: checked) When checked, every time you create a new embedded instance of Unify, new parameter links will be created, linking the outer //Macro1// knob to the embedded //Macro1// parameter, //Macro2// to //Macro2//, etc. +  * **Link ALL macro knobs** (default: checked) When checked, every time you create a new embedded instance of Unify, new parameter links will be created, linking the outer //Macro1// knob to the embedded //Macro1// parameter, //Macro2// to //Macro2//, etc. 
-  * **Add Macro links when loading patches** (default: NOT checked) When checked, appropriate Macro links will be created automatically, whenever you load any patch that has embedded Unify instances. If you re-save the patch, those macro links will be saved into the patch, and hence will be there even if you un-check the box and load the patch again.+  * **Add missing Macro links** (default: NOT checked) When checked, appropriate Macro links will be created automatically, whenever you load any patch that has embedded Unify instances. If you re-save the patch, those macro links will be saved into the patch, and hence will be there even if you un-check the box and load the patch again
