BASIC PLUGIN MENU
If a plugin slot is empty, the Plugin menu looks like this. It’s used for four things:
Insert a plugin from the Plugin List.
Paste a copied plugin and its preset .
View current latency for the entire rack
Add external inserts to the rack.
All other menu items are grayed out.
PLUGIN LIST
The Plugin List is a drop-down menu that lists all available plugins. Only plugins that have components compatible with the
current rack format are displayed. If, for example, the rack is mono, it will not be able to insert a plugin that does not have a
mono component.
Paste [plugin name]
Pastes a copied plugin and its settings to an empty slot or replaces the plugin that occupies the slot. In certain circumstances, it
is possible to paste a preset into an existing plugin (see Paste [plugin name] Preset below).
Rack Latency
Indicates the total latency of all plugins and external inserts in the rack. If no latency is declared, the text is grayed out.
External Insert
Allows you to inset a device—hardware or software—to the plugin rack. This allows you to use outboard gear as an insert in the
plugin rack. Using external inserts is described later in this section.
