Work with channel strip settings in Logic Pro
Channel strip settings (CST files) are specific to each channel strip type. Instrument
channel strips feature a number of instrument settings, separated into instrument,
GarageBand, and Jam Pack categories. Audio channel strips offer effect routings optimized
for particular instrument, vocal, and other processing tasks. Similarly, output and auxiliary
channel strips provide channel strip settings for particular mastering or sweetening
processes. For more information on using effects plug-ins, see Overview of plug-ins in
Logic Pro.
You can load, copy, paste, reset, save, and delete channel strip settings in a channel strip.
You can also access channel strip settings in the Library.
You can remotely switch between channel strip settings by sending MIDI program change
messages. This allows you to select your favorite sounds by pushing a button on your MIDI
keyboard. To use this feature, you need to save a channel strip setting as a performance.
