Using S3 with Pro Tools 38
Working with Plug-Ins
You can assign plug-ins to tracks using Channel Control, and adjust them using the Channel Encoders or Channel Control.
Assigning Plug-Ins
Assign plug-ins to tracks using Channel Control and the Config switch.
To assign a plug-in to a track using Channel Control:
1 Select a track, and make sure it is attentioned.
2 From the Channel Control top-level Knob Set, press the Inserts Channel Control Encoder.
The Channel Control displays now show the available Inserts slots. If no plug-in is inserted in a slot, the slot letter appears in
lower-case (
a, b, c, and so on) in the corresponding display. If a plug-in is inserted in a slot, the name of the plug-in is shown in
the corresponding display. Plug-in names are abbreviated as necessary.
3 Press the Config switch so it is lit. CFG appears in each Channel Control display.
4 Press the Channel Control Encoder under the display showing the Inserts slot you want to populate.
5 Press the Encoder under the display showing Plug-In.
6 Press the Encoder under the display showing the plug-in type you want to insert, such as EQ, Dynamics, or Reverb.
7 Press the Encoder under the display showing the desired plug-in to assign the plug-in.
Adjusting Plug-Ins
Plug-Ins can be accessed and adjusting using the Channel Encoders and Channel Control. You can also access only EQ plug-ins
or only dynamics plug-ins. Plug-in parameter mapping to the Channel Encoders and the Channel Control Encoders depends on the
selected Knob Set, as follows:
Inserts Knob Set
In the Inserts Knob Set, parameters are mapped according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Parameter map-
ping can vary between plug-ins, even of the same type.
EQ and Dyn Knob Sets
In the EQ and Dyn Knob Sets, parameter mappings are standardized across types of plug-ins. For exam-
ple, the threshold controls for two compressor plug-ins from different manufacturers appear on the same encoder.
If the top-level Channel Control Knob Set is not shown, press the Back Channel Control Navigation switch until it is shown.

Choices shown on your system will vary depending on which plug-ins you have installed, and the Pro Tools setting that or-
ganizes plug-ins by Category or Manufacturer.
