Settings Menu lets you copy, paste, save, and
import plug-in settings.
Track Selector Accesses any non-MIDI track in a
session.
Librarian Menu Recalls settings files saved in the
plug-in’s root settings folder or in the current
session’s Settings folder. See “Using the Librar-
ian” on page 20.
Insert Position Selector Accesses any insert on
the current track.
Key Input Selector lets you select audio on a par-
ticular input or bus and route it to trigger the
plug-in. This menu only appears on plug-ins
that feature side-chain processing. Key inputs
are monophonic.
Plug-In Selector lets you select any real-time
plug-in installed in the Plug-Ins folder.
Compare Toggles between the original saved
plug-in setting and any changes you have made
to it so you can compare them.
Effect Bypass Disables the currently displayed
plug-in. This lets you compare the track with
and without the effect.
Auto lets you enable individual plug-in controls
for automation recording. See “Automating
Plug-Ins” on page 18.
Safe When enabled, prevents existing plug-in
automation from being overwritten.
Convert Plug-In lets you convert the insert from
a TDM plug-in to an RTAS plug-in of the same
type (or vice-versa). This feature can only be
used on plug-ins that are available in both TDM
and RTAS formats.
Target Button When multiple Plug-In windows
are open, clicking this button selects that plug-
in as the target for any computer keyboard com-
mands.
Phase Invert Button Inverts the phase polarity of
the input signal on some plug-ins.
Clip LED Lights red to indicate if any meter in a
plug-in has clipped (not available on all plug-
ins). The Plug-In Clip LED follows Pro Tools set-
tings for clip indication (see the Pro Tools Refer-
ence Guide for more information).
Channel Selector Accesses a specific channel
within a multichannel track for plug-in control
editing. This menu appears only on multi-mono
plug-ins inserted on tracks with more than one
channel. Shift-clicking this selector opens a sep-
arate Plug-In window for each channel of the
multichannel track on which the plug-in is in-
serted.
Master Link Button When enabled, links the
controls on all channels of a multi-mono plug-
in so that they can be adjusted in tandem.
Link Enable Buttons Let you selectively link or
unlink the controls of specific channels of a
multi-mono plug-in. Each square represents a
speaker channel. The Master Link button must
be disabled to use the Link Enable buttons. See
“Linking and Unlinking Controls on Multi-
Mono Plug-ins” on page 15.
