files for the current plug-in. From this list, you
can select a new setting, or audition a series of
settings.

plug-in setting and any changes you have made
to it so you can compare them.

ing plug-in automation from being overwritten.

are open, clicking this button selects that plug-
in as the target for any computer keyboard com-
mands. For more information, see “Targeted
Windows” on page 649.
Key Input Selector Lets you select audio on a
particular input or bus and route it to trigger the
plug-in. This menu only appears on plug-ins
that feature side-chain processing. Key inputs
are monophonic.
MIDI Node Display
Shows MIDI node informa-
tion for MIDI-enabled plug-ins. MIDI nodes are
virtual connections from Pro Tools to software
instruments and other MIDI-enabled plug-ins.
MIDI nodes are useful for routing multiple MIDI
tracks to different channels of a single virtual
MIDI device. MIDI node numbers are also dis-
played in a track’s MIDI Output selector.
Master Link Button
When enabled, links the
controls on all channels of a multi-mono plug-
in so that they can be adjusted in tandem.
You will lose the current settings if they are
not saved before you use the Next and Pre-
vious Setting buttons. Always save your set-
tings to the Librarian menu.
