CHAPTER 16. WORKING WITH INSTRUMENTS AND EFFECTS 220
The X-Y control eld can be used to control two plug-in parameters at once and is therefore
especially well-suited for live control. To assign any two plug-in parameters to the Live panel
X-Y eld, use the drop-down menus directly beneath it.
Showing Plug-In Panels in Separate Windows
The Plug-In Edit Button.
The Plug-In Edit button opens a oating window that shows the original VST or Audio Units
Plug-in panel. Changing parameters on the oating window has the same effect as changing
them in the Live panel, and vice versa.
There are a few important Plug-In Preference settings for working with plug-in edit windows:
If activated, the Auto-Open Plug-In Windows Preference assures that plug-in edit
windows open automatically when plug-ins are loaded into tracks from the Browser.
If the Multiple Plug-In Windows option in the Plug-In Preferences is activated, you can
open any number of plug-in windows at once. Even with this option off, you can hold
down the
(PC) / (Mac) modier when opening a new plug-in window to
keep the previous window(s) from closing.
Using the Auto-Hide Plug-In Windows preference, you can choose to have Live display
only those plug-in windows belonging to the track that is currently selected.
You can use the View menu's Show/Hide Plug-In Windows command or the
(Mac) shortcut to hide and show your open plug-in windows. Notice
that the name of the track to which the plug-in belongs is displayed in the title bar of the
plug-in editor window.
