74 Effects Window
OVERVIEW
The Effects window is a like a virtual effects rack
for real-time, non-destructive MIDI and audio
effects and virtual instruments. It displays all of the
controls for a given effect on a given insert on a
certain track. You can quickly and easily switch the
effect, insert, and track you are viewing in the
Effects window at any time.
The Effects window settings modify the track’s
playback only. The original data in the track is not
changed. As a result, effects settings can be
adjusted or turned off (bypassed) at any time.
This chapter provides general information about
the Effects window. For details on using audio
effects, MIDI effects, and virtual instruments, see
chapter 75, “Audio Effects Processing” (page 873),
chapter 76, “MIDI Effects Processing” (page 887),
and chapter 17, “Instrument Tracks” (page 145).
