Plug-In Congure Mode
The Congure Button.
Congure Mode allows you to customize Live's panel to show only the plug-in parameters
that you need to access. To do this:
Enter Congure Mode by pressing the Congure button in the device's header.
Click on a parameter in the plug-in edit window to add it to Live's panel. (For some
plug-ins, it may be necessary to actually change the parameter's value. Additionally,
certain plug-ins do not publish all of their parameters to Live. These parameters
cannot be added to Live's panel.)
While in Congure Mode, parameters in Live's panel can be reordered or moved by dragging
and dropping them to new locations. Parameters can be deleted by pressing the
Delete
key. If you try to delete a parameter that has existing automation data, clip envelopes, or
MIDI, key or Macro mappings, Live will warn you before proceeding.
The parameters that you assign are unique for each instance of a given plug-in in your Set,
and are saved with the Set. If you would like to save a setup using a particular collection
of parameters, you can create a Rack containing the congured plug-in. Racks can then be
saved to your Library and loaded into other Sets.
Certain plug-ins do not have their own windows, and instead only show their parameters in
Live's panel. For these plug-ins, it is not possible to delete parameters when in Congure
Mode (although they can still be moved and reordered).
There are several ways to add plug-in parameters to Live's panel without entering Congure
Mode:
