Chapter 12: Plug-Ins and Inserts 115
Shortcuts
◆ Double-press an INSERT button (pressing
twice in quick succession). This will directly ac-
cess a plug-in for editing. The plug-in selected
will either be the first in the channel inserts, or
the last-edited plug-in.
◆ Double-pressing a channel INSERT button
multiple times will cycle sequentially through
the channel’s current inserts (1-5).
Plug-In Symbols
There are several shorthand symbols and capi-
talization schemes that indicate information
about a plug-in’s status and configuration.
Capitalization of Plug-In Name Active plug-ins
are shown in lower case; plug-ins that are by-
passed are shown in upper case.
The “@” Symbol An “@” in front of a plug-in’s
name means the plug-in is inactive.
Mono Plug-In A mono plug-in is indicated by an
“m” in front of the plug-in name.
Stereo Plug-In A stereo plug-in is indicated by an
“s” in front of the plug-in name.
Mono/Stereo Plug-In A mono/stereo plug-in is
indicated by “ms” in front of the plug-in name.
Multi-Mono Plug-In A multi-mono plug-in is in-
dicated by a raised “.” in front of the plug-in
name.
Displaying Plug-In Parameters on
the Channel Scribble Strips
When a plug-in has been assigned to an insert
position and its parameters are displayed on the
scribble strips, the parameters become available
for editing.
Display of Plug-Ins and Plug-In Pages
Because some plug-ins have more parameters
than Control 24 has physical channels, these
controls are banked through a collection of con-
trol “pages,” each of which consists of up to 24
parameters.
Control 24 banks through the total number of
parameters in groups of 24. Some plug-in pages
may contain “blank” locations where a given
control is not active.
To select a different plug-in page:
1 Select and display a plug-in across the scribble
strips.
2 Press a lit button in the CHANNEL BAR
SCROLL section, that will indicate that there is
at least one more page in that button’s direction.
3 On-screen, the plug-in parameters currently
under the control of Control 24 will be high-
lighted blue.
EQ and DYN Buttons and
Modes
The EQ and DYN buttons are dedicated to EQ
and Dynamics plug-ins respectively, that func-
tion in different ways depending on the config-
uration of the global EDIT/BYP switch.
The EQ button is supported by all Digidesign
and Digidesign-distributed EQ plug-ins, and the
DYN button affects most compressor, gate, and
limiter plug-ins.
