Plug-Ins and Sends
This chapter explains how to assign and adjust plug-ins and sends (Auxes) on tracks.
Working with Plug-In Inserts
This section shows you how to work with Pro Tools plug-ins. Pro Tools tracks can have up to 10 in-
serts per track (in any combination of software plug-ins and hardware inserts).
Working with Plug-Ins
To access and edit a plug-in:
1 Recall the Layout containing the desired tracks.
2 Press the Star (*) key on a track to show currently assigned plug-ins.
If no plug-in is inserted in the current slot, the slot letter appears in lower-case (a, b, c, and so on). If
any plug-ins are already assigned in the current slot, the name of the plug-in is shown. Plug-in names
are abbreviated as necessary. For example, if the Compressor/Limiter 3 Dynamics plug-in is present in
the current slot, the display above its track shows CmprsLD.
3 To view other insert slots, press PAGE > until that slot and any assigned plug-ins are displayed.
4 Press the Knob for the plug-in you want to edit.
The first page of parameters for that plug-in are mapped across the encoders.
5 Press PAGE > (or PAGE <) to access other parameters for the current plug-in.
6 Adjust parameters for the plug-in using the Knobs and associated keys.
When working with EUCON channels (such as Pro Tools tracks), Dynamics, EQ, Aux, and Monitor
controls do not appear on the CM402. Use the controls in the individual channel strips instead.
If you are working with EQ or Dynamics plug-ins (such as a compressor, expander, or gate), see
“EQ/DYN Keys and Standard Plug-In Mapping” on page 20.
