Hotswitch

Allows you to instantaneously toggle between two settings for any combination of knobs. See the ”Using
the Hotswitch” section for more details.

Saving and Recalling Plug-In settings

When Blackhole is installed, a library of settings is placed into the

<

user

>

/Documents/Eventide/Blackhole/Presets folder. In this folder is a series of .tide files which will

show up as options in Eventide’s plug-in preset bar. From inside the Eventide Blackhole you can load
or save these settings. We recommend saving your own settings to this folder to ensure that they are
available to any instance of the plug-in you’re working with. You can also create sub-folders inside the
Blackhole Plug-In Folder if you wish.

3.4.1

Mix Lock

Located at the top next to the preset save/load buttons is a button called ”Mix Lock”. Pressing this will
enable a global mix value that will be the same on every preset that is loaded. This is especially useful
on an effect return track where the mix should always be set to 100.
