Chapter 17: Plug-Ins 167
“Jump To” Plug-Ins
You can “jump to” a specific plug-in insert from the Input and
Output pages to adjust it on-screen in the Zoom view of the
Plug-In page.
To jump to a plug-in insert from the Inputs or Outputs screen:
1 Select a channel to display it in the Inputs or Outputs screen.
2 Click the plug-in name shown in the channel Inserts section.
To jump to a plug-in on a bus:
1 Bank to the FX Return or other channel type assigned as the
plug-in output, or bank to the output feeding the plug-in.
2 Select the channel to display it in the Inputs or Outputs screen.
3 Click the routing displayed beneath the Channel Name.
Plug-Ins Screens and Channel Selection
When jumping to a plug-in, display depends on the type of
plug-in routing, as follows:
Channel Inserts If the Plug-Ins screen is in Zoom view while you
select a channel, the last selected plug-in for that channel is auto-
matically selected and displayed in the Plug-Ins screen.
Bus-Fed Plug-Ins If no plug-ins are inserted on a channel (such
as when returning a bus-fed plug-in to an FX Return) the plug-in
feeding that FX Return is displayed.
Pinning a Plug-In View
You can decouple the plug-in view for consistent and constant ac-
cess to a single plug-in on-screen, while still being able to select
and adjust other plug-ins from the S3 control surface. Pinning a
plug-in view is useful any time you want to always display an im-
portant plug-in (such as an analysis plug-in or primary EQ).
To pin a plug-in view:
1 Bring the desired plug-in into the Zoom view (use the channel
Select and Insert Mode switches, double-click the desired
plug-in from the rack, or jump to the plug-in from the Inputs or
Outputs page).
2 Click the Push-Pin icon in the upper-right of the screen (the
icon is located just to the left of the
Presets and View Toggle
icons.
• When enabled, the Push-Pin icon appears lit. This indicates
that the current plug-in will remain on-screen and will not
lose focus, even if another channel is targeted.
• When not enabled, the Push-Pin icon appears unlit. Plug-in
view follows control surface selections.
