Surround Effects
To view a list of the automatable parameters in a particular effect, uncheck one of the Controls
Linked to Group check boxes on the SurroundBridge tab, and read the list in the Unlinked
Controls field.
To Relink Individual Effect Parameters to Other Effect Instances
1. In the Unlinked Controls field on the SurroundBridge tab, select the parameters you want to
relink—if the parameters you want to select are adjacent, you can SHIFT-click the first and last
ones in the group. If they’re not adjacent, you can CTRL-click them individually.
2. Click the Relink Controls button.
The parameters you relinked are removed from the list.
To Unlink All of an Instance’s Parameters from Other Instances
1. In the property page of an effect that’s patched into a surround bus, click the SurroundBridge
tab.
2. Find the instance you want to unlink in the Plug-in # column, and uncheck its Controls Linked to
Group check box.
The parameters you unlinked appear in the Unlinked Controls field, with the instance number listed
in the Plug-in # column of the Unlinked Controls field.
To Disable an Instance
• On the SurroundBridge tab of the effect’s property page, uncheck the Enable check box of the
plug-in you want to disable. The instance’s tab becomes greyed-out when you do this. You can re-
enable the instance by rechecking the check box.
The Enable check box is a separate bypass system from the Bypass button that is on the instance’s
individual property tab. Disabling an instance by using the Enable check box lightens the CPU load
by taking the instance out of the processing path. The Bypass button on the instance’s property tab
does not change color when you click the Enable check box, because it is a separate system. The
Bypass button is automatable in some plug-ins.
To Save a Preset
1. Set the effect’s parameters the way you want them.
2. In the Presets field of the effect’s property page, type a name for the preset, and click the floppy
disk icon that’s just right of the Presets field.
Saving a preset of an effect that’s patched into a surround bus creates a surround preset, which
includes channel assignments and parameter linkage settings.
Note: To relink all of an instance’s parameters, recheck its Controls Linked to Group check
box.
