MIDI realtime parameters and effects
MIDI Sends section
This allows you to add up to four MIDI send effects. Unlike
audio send effects, you can select and activate send ef-
fects individually for each track. The section contains the
following items:
Ö Effects that display their controls in the Inspector can
be opened in a separate control panel window by press-
ing [Alt]/[Option] and clicking the Edit button.
About presets
Several of the MIDI plug-ins come with a number of pre-
sets for instant use. The controls for handling presets con-
sist of a Presets pop-up menu along with Store (+) and
Remove (-) buttons.
• To load a preset, select it from the Presets pop-up menu.
• To store your current settings as a preset, click the (+)
button to the right.
A dialog appears, asking you to specify a name for the preset. The stored
preset will then be available for selection from the pop-up menu for all in-
stances of that MIDI plug-in, in all projects.
• To remove a stored preset, select it and click the (-) but-
ton to the right.
