CHANNEL CONFIGURATIONS
Digital Performer allows you to configure your
system with a combination of mono, stereo and
surround signal paths. For more details, see
“Channel configurations” on page 8 in the DP
Plug-in Guide.
SIDE CHAIN INPUTS
A side chain input allows you to route any audio
directly into the plug-in itself to control a
parameter with the side chain input signal. It
appears in a plug-in window as a menu that shows
a list of Digital Performer’s virtual busses. For
many MAS plug-ins, the menu appears within the
plug-in itself:
Figure 75-9: The side chain input in a MAS plug-in (Dynamics).
For some plug-ins, the side chain input menu
appears in the Effects window:

To use the side chain input, choose an audio input
or bus from the menu and then route a signal to the
bus from any source you want in Digital
Performer’s mixing environment (a track, a live
aux input, etc.). Several included plug-ins have side
chain inputs, including Dynamics, Ring
Modulator, and Multimode Filter. Refer to
chapter 1, “Audio Effects Plug-ins” (page 7) in the
DP Plug-ins Guide.
MULTIPLE AUDIO OUTPUTS
Some effects plug-ins provide multiple audio
outputs. You can access them in the Instruments tab
in the Bundles window, just as with virtual
instruments. For details, see “Multiple audio
outputs” on page 148.
MAKING A REAL-TIME PLUG-IN EFFECT
PERMANENT
All real-time plug-ins that appear in the Mixing
Board window effects inserts also appear in the
Audio menu > Plug-ins sub-menu. To apply them,
you can select audio in any window you prefer.
