Plug-In Editor

The AWS 900+ SE 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

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 from V6.4 and above it will be necessary to move channels 9-16, 17-24 into bay 1 channels 1-8.

Note: Bank switching channels leaves the Plug-In Editor with the channel assigned to it.

The channel

tally will show this.
