Selecting effects and managing slots
To select an effect plug-in for a slot, click on the slot (or the numbered
button to the right of the slot) and select an effect from the pop-up menu
that appears. Note that effects can be organized in groups (see “Organiz-
ing plug-in processors” on page 753), in which case they will appear in
hierarchical submenus.
Selecting an effect from the VST group.
The number of effects available on the menu depends on which plug-ins
you have installed. It’s also possible to globally deactivate or exclude ef-
fects you don’t need, as described in the section “Activating and deactivat-
ing plug-ins and groups” on page 754.
When you have selected an effect, it is automatically activated (the On
button lights up), and its control panel appears as a separate window
(see “Making settings – The Effect control panels” on page 227 for more
on effect control panels).
• You can turn off an effect (without removing it) by clicking its On button.
To activate the effect again, click the On button so that it lights up.
• To hide the control panel for an effect, right-click its On button (or right-click the
effect slot and select Hide from the pop-up menu that appears).
A hidden control panel can be shown by right-clicking the On button again (or by selecting
Show from the same pop-up). You can also have one effect panel shown and automatically
hide all the other panels, by right-clicking the Solo button for the slot.
• Clicking the Solo button for an effect will bypass all other effect slots, allowing
you to check the sound of that effect only.
You can also bypass effects manually in their control panels – see below.
