Plug-in Menu Entry Description
Save As… Allows you to save the current Plug-in settings as a preset for
later use. This preset will appear in the Browser.
Save As Default… (only
when a Native Instruments
or External Plug-in is
loaded)
Allows you to save the current Plug-in settings as a default
preset. This default preset will be recalled each time you load
the Plug-in from the Plug-in menu.
Note that the first two submenus Native Instruments and External only show the Plug-ins that are
enabled in the Plug-ins page of the Preferences panel. For more on this, see section ↑3.6.6, Prefer-
ences – Plug-ins Page.
The edit commands (Cut, Copy, and Paste) and preset management commands (Open, Save As…,
and Save As Default…) available at the bottom of the Plug-in menu will be covered in section
↑7.1.7, Moving Plug-ins and ↑7.1.9, Saving and Recalling Plug-in Presets, respectively.
7.1.3.1 Loading, Removing, and Replacing a Plug-in on your Controller
7.1.4 Adjusting the Plug-in Parameters
The procedure for adjusting the Plug-in parameters is common to all types of Plug-ins and all
sets of Channel properties. It is described in section ↑3.3.5, Navigating Channel Properties,
Plug-ins, and Parameter Pages in the Control Area.
Native Instruments and External Plug-ins only: You can also adjust the Plug-in parameters via the
own user interface of the VST/AU plug-in. More on this in ↑7.3, Using Native Instruments and Ex-
ternal Plug-ins.
7.1.5 Bypassing Plug-in Slots
You can bypass (or “mute”) any Plug-in slot. When a Plug-in slot is bypassed, the Plug-in it
contains is temporarily removed from the signal flow and does not process the audio passing
through the slot. Instead, the incoming audio is directly sent to the next Plug-in slot for further
processing (or to the channel’s output if you bypass its last Plug-in slot).
