Moving Plug-ins Within the Plug-in List
► To move a Plug-in in the Plug-in List, click its name and drag your mouse vertically. While
you are holding the mouse button, an insertion line appears at the place in the Plug-in
List where the Plug-in would land if dropped. Drag your mouse until the insertion line is
at the desired location, then release the mouse button to drop the Plug-in onto this new
location.
→ The Plug-in takes its new place between the existing Plug-ins while keeping the exact
same settings. All other Plug-ins sitting between its old and new location are shifted one
slot upwards/downwards to fill the gap.
Dragging Plug-ins can be very useful if you want to quickly change the effects’ process-
ing order in the channel.
Moving Plug-ins Across Sounds and Groups
Moving Plug-ins is not only possible within the same Sound but also across Sounds, across
Groups, across levels (e.g., from a Sound to a Group) or across Sounds in different Groups!
To move a Plug-in to another Sound, Group or the Master, do the following:
1. Click the down-pointing arrow of the slot containing the Plug-in that you want to move.
2. In the Plug-in menu that opens, select Cut.
3. Select the Sound, Group or the Master where you want to move the Plug-in (see section
↑2.3.6, Focusing on a Group or a Sound).
4. Click the down-pointing arrow of the target slot (the slot where you want to move the Plug-
in to).
5. In the Plug-in menu that opens, select Paste.
→ The Plug-in with all its parameters has now been moved from its original location to its
target location.
