External Inserts
You can add external inserts to a plugin rack. An external insert follows the same routing path as plugins and can be moved up
and down the rack to change its position in the processing chain.
Using an External Insert
1. Choose a plugin slot in the rack.
2. Select External Inserts from the Plugin Menu.
3. Choose an available insert from the menu.
1. Click on the External Insert icon to open the control page.
2. Select the physical send and return I/Os using the drop-down menus.
3. Use the Device cell to rename the insert, if needed. Use the Insert drop-down menu
to move between inserts. If no send is assigned, the insert will be bypassed. It
remains in the rack and its place in the processing chain is unchanged.
A full-scale meter indicates the level of the return signal.
The Latency knob is used to adjust the amount of delay added to the signal returning from the external device. Unlike a plugin,
an external insert cannot declare its delay to the latency compensation engine, so this must be done manually.
