To unlink individual effect parameters from other effect instances
1. In the property page of an effect that’s patched into a surround bus, click the Link Automation
controls button so it is disabled.
2. Make some adjustments to the automatable parameters you want to unlink (non-automatable
parameters are not linked together). You can select parameters on any tab. SONAR will
automatically capture which controls you change and unlink them from the corresponding
controls for the other surround channels.
3. When you’re finished adjusting parameters, click the Link Automation controls button so it
is enabled.
Now you can adjust the parameters you adjusted, without automatically adjusting the same
parameters that are on other tabs of the effect’s property page. As long as the Link Automation
controls button is enabled, all other controls will remain linked.
A list of the parameters that you unlinked appears in the Unlinked Controls field on the
SurroundBridge tab, with the instance number listed in the Plug-in # column of the Unlinked
Controls field.
If you unlinked some but not all of an instance’s parameters, the instance’s check box in the
Controls Linked to Group column appears gray, with a check.
To view a list of the automatable parameters in a particular effect, uncheck one of the Controls
Linked to Group check boxes on the SurroundBridge tab, and read the list in the Unlinked
Controls field.
To relink individual effect parameters to other effect instances
1. In the Unlinked Controls field on the SurroundBridge tab, select the parameters you want to
relink—if the parameters you want to select are adjacent, you can SHIFT-click the first and last
ones in the group. If they’re not adjacent, you can CTRL-click them individually.
2. Click the Relink Controls button.
The parameters you relinked are removed from the list.
To unlink all of an instance’s parameters from other instances
1. In the property page of an effect that’s patched into a surround bus, click the SurroundBridge
tab.
2. Find the instance you want to unlink in the Plug-in # column, and uncheck its Controls Linked
to Group check box.
The parameters you unlinked appear in the Unlinked Controls field, with the instance number listed
in the Plug-in # column of the Unlinked Controls field.
Note: To relink all of an instance’s parameters, recheck its Controls Linked to Group check
box.
