Output Meter – This meter displays the signal level at the output of the channel (after all
plug‑in processing in the channel).
Inserts Options Overview
The Inserts Options (in the Main Column, below the View Menu)
enable various operations to be performed on the plug‑ins displayed
within Inserts View.
The option operations are accomplished by selecting an option to
latch the function, executing the operation(s) using Modifiers, then
exiting the latched function.
Option Latch
When an Inserts Option button is activated, the
button flashes blue, indicating that the function is
latched and ready to be executed.
Option Unlatch
The latched option is unlatched (the button stops flashing blue) when:
• Any option button is activated (same or different)
• A different View screen is activated
• No operations are executed during the Timeout Length
Timeout Length
When an option is latched, it is automatically unlatched (times out) after the Timeout
Length to prevent inadvertent modifications. The Timeout Length is a preference set in
View Menu>Settings>Display Tab>TIMEOUT LENGTH. The default Timeout Length is six
seconds.
Modifiers
Modifiers are icons superimposed on various elements when an option is latched.
Modifiers are used to execute the operations. The specific modifiers that appear, and
where they are located, depend upon the specific option that is latched.
Inserts modifiers are superimposed on insert slots, and smaller column modifiers are
superimposed on the Channel Select buttons within the
next screenshot.
Modifier Swipe Shortcuts
Modifier functions can be executed extremely rapidly across many channels and/or insert
slots in the current bank using the swipe shortcuts. When an Insert Option is latched,
click+hold the mouse, then drag vertically and/or horizontally across channels and/or
inserts to perform the function on all inserts that are swiped.
Tip: The Modifier swipe shortcuts are (by far) the fastest way to perform the same
function on multiple inserts (for example, as compared to equivalent functions in
Channel View).
