Sidechain:
For plug-ins that have a sidechain, there is a pop-up that allows you to select any input
or bus as a sidechain source.

switches between the saved preset settings and the changes you‘ve made since
instantiating the plug-in.
• The

button in the header bar is a master bypass for all processing in the plug-in.
Multichannel Plug-ins
Many plug-ins come in two versions; m/m (mono in – mono out) and s/s (stereo in – stereo out).
MIOConsole3d’s inserts are context aware; you will always have the m/m option, and will have the s/s
option on stereo tracks. If you need to insert a plug-in on a multichannel (LCR to 7.1) input or bus, simply
insert the m/m version and MIOConsole3d will instantiate the plug-in on every channel of the input or bus.
The UIs will be linked; adjustments you make will be applied to all channels of the plug-in. If you wish to
adjust the plug-in on a per-channel basis, you can:
• Use mono input channels instead of a multichannel source
• Insert a graph into the multichannel source or bus, and instantiate multiple plug-ins there
What's the difference between using a m/m vs. s/s plug-in on a stereo channel?
When you insert an m/m plug-in on a stereo channel, you are creating two separate mono signal
paths. For example, inserting an m/m compressor on a stereo input will create two plug-ins with
each detector fed from a single channel. The two channels will be processed independently. A
stereo compressor would feed the detector from both channels and process them together.
