AWS 900+ Owner’s Manual
Plug-In Editor
The AWS 900+ comes with a powerful Plug-in Editor
located in the console centre section. From here, plug-
ins and hardware inserts can be assigned, and plug-in
parameters can be edited.
Plug-In Editor Display
The Plug-In Editor uses a high resolution TFT display,
four D-pots and four soft buttons to control the
parameters of any plug-in. The display is also used to
show the position and status of the DAW and to provide
access to a range of paged menus. These are described
on page 5-19.
The currently selected EDIT channel name is displayed
at the top of the screen. Next are the plug-in control
displays. Just below this are the transport status
displays and timecode display.
The bottom section is used for soft key menu selection.
.
Plug-In Editor Controls
The controls for the display are located just below the
screen area. The four D-Pots and associated soft keys
map to the corresponding controls on the display. The
D-Pots also have push-push select switches which
perform various functions.
The display also shows information from the DAW at
the top of the editor display.
Paging Buttons
The left/right paging buttons page through either
available insert slots in
INSERT mode, or plug-in
parameters in PARAMETER mode (see below).
Selecting a DAW Channel for Plug-In Control
Select EDIT mode on the Master Control Panel then use the channel SEL buttons to chose the channel you wish
to edit. The EDIT flag in the channel meter will light. The DAW will highlight the selected channel and currently
selected plug-in. Press ALT to display the plug-in window.
Alternatively select a channel by double clicking on one of the insert points in the Mix window. Note that on some
versions of Pro Tools this is the only way to change between blocks of channels (1-8, 9-16, 17-24).
Note: Bank switching channels leaves the Plug-In Editor with the channel assigned to it. The channel EDIT tally will
show this.
