while in the Channel view modes, by simply pressing the Select button of the desired
channel.
Plug-in Button
Pressing the PLUG-IN button activates Plug-in Mixer view. Pressing the button
repeatedly toggles between Plug-in Channel view and Plug-in Mixer view.
Note: There is one exception to this behavior: If you are in Instrument Edit view,
pressing this button switches to Plug-in Edit view. For information, see “Instrument Edit
View” on page 81.
Plug-in Mixer View
In this mode, you can view and edit the plug-ins associated with a particular Insert
slot—for all channels.
 The mode display shows P1 to P9, or 10 to 16, indicating the selected Insert slot
number.
Note: If a software instrument channel is selected, the display shows P1 to P9 and 10 to
15.
 The upper row of the LCD shows channel strip names.
 The lower row of the LCD shows the currently selected plug-in for the active Insert
slot. Muted plug-ins are shown with an asterisk
* that precedes the plug-in name.
 Turning the V-Pots pre-selects a new plug-in. The plug-in name flashes until
confirmed by pressing the V-Pot button.
 Turning another channel’s V-Pot cancels any earlier pre-selection, and starts pre-
selection on the newly selected channel strip.
 Pressing a V-Pot button:
 Confirms or activates the pre-selected plug-in (assuming that you’ve made your
pre-selection by turning the V-Pot).
 Opens a plug-in window, if none are opened. If a plug-in window is open, and Link
mode is enabled, the selection of another plug-in will replace the contents of the
existing plug-in window.
 Switches to Plug-in Edit view.
 The Cursor Up/Down buttons change the currently displayed plug-in Insert slot (1 to
15/16).
 Pressing a V-Pot or MUTE button, while the SHIFT button is held down, mutes or
unmutes the plug-in.
Note: Ensure that the ZOOM button isn’t active when using the cursor buttons.
