Snapshot Pane: Automating Your Racks
One of the main benefits of a plug-in based processing host for live applications is the
ability to create detailed presets and recall them live, during concerts. The Snapshot Pane
is where you store, recall and manage the Snapshots that contain all of the parameters of
the plug-ins that make up your processing Racks. It’s here where your programming efforts
pay off.
Snapshots contain the following parameters:
• Rack input and output gain
• Rack in/out, mute and on/off states
• Current plug-in parameters
Snapshots are contained and saved as part of a Session file. A single Session file can
contain up to 1000 Snapshots, which are displayed as a vertical play list. Snapshots can
also be exported to or imported from files in order to integrate them into a Session.
Use Snapshots to change the state of Racks (Mute/In/Off),
levels, and, most importantly, the settings for the plug-ins.
Snapshots do not change the physical configuration of a
Session, so you cannot use a Snapshot to change the
audio I/O, the Rack order or the plug-ins embedded in a
