To insert a plug-in by drag and drop:
 Drag a plug-in settings file from a DigiBase
browser to an Insert in the Mix (or Edit) window.
To change a plug-in preset by drag and drop:
 Drag a plug-in settings file from a DigiBase
browser to the plug-in window. The plug-in set-
tings file must be for the same plug-in name. For
example, you cannot replace a 1-Band EQ 3 with
a plug-in setting for 4-Band EQ 3.
Plug-In Mapping
Pro Tools lets you customize the arrangement of
plug-in parameter controls on supported con-
trol surfaces. You can save these customized
plug-in maps as presets and export them for use
across different sessions and systems.
Plug-In Learn Mode
Plug-Ins can be put into Learn mode, from
which any automatable plug-in parameter can
be mapped to a channel strip encoder, switch, or
(in Flip mode) fader on the control surface.
Plug-In Map Presets
A map for a plug-in can be saved and recalled for
any plug-in of the same type.
You can save multiple map presets for a single
plug-in, and switch between maps at any time
during a session.
You can also use multiple map presets on differ-
ent instances of a plug-in at the same time. This
is useful for virtual instrument plug-ins with
multiple configurations, or for multi-user work-
flows on large systems.
You can set a custom plug-in map to be the de-
fault map for a plug-in, so that the same map is
used for all default instances of that plug-in.
Plug-In Map Files
Plug-In maps can be exported (as .pim files) for
use in other sessions and on other systems with
a similar type of control surface (8-fader surface,
24-fader surface, or ICON surface).
