Link Enable Buttons Let you selectively link or
unlink the controls of specific channels of a
multi-mono plug-in. Each square represents a
speaker channel. The Master Link button must
be disabled to use the Link Enable buttons. See
“Linking and Unlinking Controls on Multi-
Mono Plug-ins” on page 681.
Channel Selector Accesses a specific channel
within a multichannel track for plug-in control
editing. This menu appears only on multi-mono
plug-ins inserted on tracks with more than one
channel. Shift-clicking this selector opens a sep-
arate Plug-in window for each channel of the
multichannel track on which the plug-in is in-
serted.
Phase Invert Button Inverts the phase polarity of
the input signal on some plug-ins.
LFE Enable Enables plug-in processing of the
LFE (low frequency effects) channel on a multi-
channel track formatted for 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1 sur-
round formats on some plug-ins. To disable LFE
processing, deselect this button.
Tempo Sync Enables compatible plug-ins to au-
tomatically synchronize to the session tempo,
for rhythmic delay, echo, and similar effects.
Opening Plug-in Windows
To open a plug-in window:
■
Click the plug-in button in the Mix or Edit
window channel strip.
By default, each plug-in you open will appear in
the same location as a currently open plug-in,
replacing it in the same window location.
Opening Multiple Plug-in Windows
Pro Tools normally displays a single plug-in
window from which you can adjust the controls
of any session plug-in. You can also open addi-
tional Plug-in windows for specific plug-ins.
Once you begin working with multiple plug-in
windows, you will need to click the Target but-
ton on the plug-in whose controls you want to
adjust using keyboard commands.
To open an additional plug-in window:
■
In the Mix window, Shift-click the Insert but-
ton of a plug-in.
To open plug-in windows for each channel of a
multi-mono plug-in:
■
Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac) the
Channel selector in the Plug-in window of a
plug-in insert.
To close all currently open plug-in windows:
■
Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac) the
close box of any currently open plug-in window.
