# Track inserts
The sequencer's **Create** dropdown groups track creation, WAV import and
instrument loading. **View → Track inspector** opens the optional inspector;
it is hidden when the application starts to leave more room for editing.
Project format 17 stores up to eight effect slots per track, their order,
bypass, wet amount and chain output gain. Formats 1–16 read with empty chains.
Metadata load, clone and history never open executable plugin modules. Track
move, duplicate and removal retain the association with stable track IDs.
Nonempty bus chains are rejected. The model accepts mono effect specifications
for LADSPA, VST2, VST3, CLAP and internal effects; this alone does not establish
that a third-party binary is compatible with the host.
The chain API is declared in `xtc_plugin.h`. Setter errors preserve the old
chain; plugin identity and layout are checked when preparing playback.
