Insert Settings menu commands
Save Insert Settings: saves a new insert settings file.
Delete Insert Settings: deletes the current insert settings file
and clears the inserts. You will be warned that the action
cannot be undone.
Restore Last Insert Settings: reloads the preset which was
most recently loaded.
Open Insert Settings Folder: opens a Finder window
revealing the insert settings files. There, you can rename,
copy, delete, and move your files.
Clear Inserts: removes all effects inserts. On instrument
tracks, this command removes only the effects inserts; the
instrument insert is unaffected.
Common folder
Presets for each track type (MIDI, Audio, Aux, and so on) are
saved in separate folders. However, if you would like a preset
to appear in the Insert Settings menu for all types of tracks
that use audio effects plug-ins (Audio, Aux, Instrument, and
Master Fader), save the preset in the Common folder.
Common presets appear at the bottom of the Insert Settings
menu on audio tracks.
Insert Settings are clippings
Insert Settings preset files are actually clipping files, so they
can be used with all of the usual clippings operations. The
insert settings files are located in:
/Library/Application Support/MOTU/Digital Performer/

Bypass toggle
Option-click the Insert Settings menu to toggle Bypass of all
inserts on that track at once.
Insert Settings presets in insert slots
Insert Settings presets can also be loaded from individual
insert slots. In any insert pop-up menu in the Mixing Board
and Effects window, Insert Settings presets can be loaded
from the Insert Settings submenu. In this case, the Insert
Settings preset will be spliced in starting at the chosen slot.
Other inserts that are already loaded on that track will not be
removed; if necessary, existing inserts will be moved to lower
slots to allow room for the new inserts.
