Chapter 7: Plug-Ins and Sends 143
COMPARE and MASTER BYPASS Switches
Below the DSP EDIT/ASSIGN section are the CHAN-
NEL/GROUP display and switches. The two switches MAS-
TER BYPASS and COMPARE are utilized with Plug-Ins as ex-
plained below.
COMPARE
While editing a Plug-In, this switch performs the same func-
tion as it does on-screen in Pro Tools. If the Plug-In settings
have been edited the COMPARE switch acts as a “reset”
switch, allowing you to toggle between the newly-edited
parameter settings (the COMPARE LED is lit), and the pre-
vious parameter settings (LED is off).
To reset a Plug-In to its factory or user default settings:
■ Press and hold down DEFAULT then press COMPARE.
Pro Tools then loads either the Factory or the User Default
Setting for the current Plug-In, as determined by the current
Plug-In preferences.
MASTER BYPASS
The switch has two functions, determined by the current
INSERTS/PARAM mode status:
In INSERTS mode
◆ Acts as a MASTER BYPASS switch for all Plug-Ins on the
CHANNEL/GROUP. (This matches the functionality of the
Fader section’s BYPASS function on the INS/SEND switch
row.) The MASTER BYPASS switch LED will flash if some
Plug-In Inserts are bypassed, while others are not (a “mixed
state”). In this case, pressing once on the MASTER BYPASS
switch will un-bypass all Plug-In inserts; pressing it a second
time will bypass all inserts.
In PARAMs mode
◆ Acts as a MASTER BYPASS switch for the currently edited
Plug-In. (This matches the functionality of the TDM/Bypass
control on the Plug-In itself.)
