Safe When enabled, prevents existing plug-in
automation from being overwritten.
Convert Plug-In Lets you convert the insert from
a TDM plug-in to an RTAS plug-in of the same
type (or vice-versa). This feature can only be
used on plug-ins that are available in both TDM
and RTAS formats.
Target Plug-In When multiple Plug-In windows
are open, clicking this button in a Plug-In win-
dow until it is lit, selects that plug-in as the tar-
get for any computer keyboard commands.
Clicking the button until it is unlit leaves the
window open when other Plug-Ins windows are
opened. The target in the Plug-In window func-
tions the same as the target in Output and Send
windows. For more information, see “Targeted
Windows” on page 422.
Phase Invert Inverts the phase polarity of the in-
put signal.
Plug-In Clip LED In addition to clipping displays
that are a part of a plug-in’s individual interface,
plug-ins that display internal clipping also re-
port the clipping in the plug-in header.
Channel Selector Accesses a specific channel
within a multichannel track for plug-in control
editing. This menu appears only on multi-mono
plug-ins inserted on tracks with more than one
channel. Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click
(Macintosh) this Selector to open a separate
Plug-In window for each channel of the multi-
channel track on which the plug-in is inserted.
Link Enable Buttons Lets you selectively link the
controls of specific channels of a multi-mono
plug-in. Each square represents a plug-in out-
put. The Master Link button must be disabled to
use the Link Enable buttons. See “Linking and
Unlinking Controls on Multi-Mono Plug-Ins”
on page 443.
LFE Enable Enables plug-in processing of the
LFE (low frequency effects) channel on a 5.1,
6.1, or 7.1 multichannel track. To disable LFE
processing, deselect this button.
Master Link Button When enabled, links the
controls on all channels of a multi-mono plug-
in so that they can be adjusted in tandem.

window channel strip.
By default, each plug-in you open will appear in
the same location as a currently open plug-in,
replacing it in the same window location.

window from which you can adjust the controls
of any session plug-in. You can also open addi-
tional Plug-In windows for specific plug-ins.
Once you begin working with multiple Plug-In
windows, you will need to click the Target but-
ton on the plug-in whose controls you want to
adjust using keyboard commands.
