Interface Techniques
To press a switch in a plugin, simply click on it. A green surround indicates that the switch is in its active state.
To turn a knob, click on it, and drag it up and to the right. If your mouse has a scroll wheel,
you can also turn knobs by hovering over them and turning the scroll wheel.
To control Input and Output levels, click and drag upwards (see right).
To move any control slowly for fine adjustments, hold Shift on your keyboard whilst
turning.
To reset a knob to its default value, click on it whilst holding Ctrl (Windows) or ⌘ (Macintosh).
To enter a precise value for any parameter, double-click on its value display, enter a value
on your computer keyboard, and press the Return key.
You may notice that the colour of the knob surrounds change to indicate their level:
green for low, yellow for mid, red for high.
To switch each band on, click on the oblong switch at the top of each band box.
The edit controls to the right of the EQ graph control one of the 10 EQ bands. The band
being controlled is selected by clicking on the appropriate band box, located in a row
underneath the graph, or by clicking on the band’s node in the EQ graph.
The band assigned to the edit controls is indicated by the band box being ‘lit’ with its
band colour, and by the band number and colour appearing at the top of the edit
controls, as shown right for band 6.
Automation
Every plug-in parameter can be automated in host applications which support automation. The method
for recording and editing automation varies from host to host. For specific instructions on using
automation within the host, consult the host application documentation.
