Parameter locking
It is possible to lock certain parameters, so that they are not changed when loading a preset. For
example, one possible use of this feature is to set the input and output gains of a compressor to
achieve the desired amount of gain reduction, lock these parameters, and then scroll throught
the list of factory presets to find the most appropriate tone.
Locking the Dual Input knob
To lock a control, right-click it with the mouse, or click while holding down the Ctrl key on the
keyboard. If the control can be locked, a menu will appear offering to lock it. When a parameter
is locked, a small padlock icon appears next to the control.

It is also possible, by clicking in the corner, to open a small popup window with buttons offering a
