Convert Plug-in Selector Lets you convert the in-
sert from a TDM plug-in to an RTAS plug-in of
the same type (or vice-versa). This feature can
only be used on plug-ins that are available in
both TDM and RTAS formats.
Clip LED Lights red to indicate if any meter in a
plug-in has clipped (not available on all plug-
ins). The Plug-in Clip LED follows Pro Tools set-
tings for clip indication.
ΩSettings Menu Lets you copy, paste, save, and
import plug-in settings.

plug-in’s root settings folder or in the current
session’s Settings folder. See “Using the Librar-
ian” on page 675.
Next (+) and Previous (–) Setting Buttons Let
you select the next or previous plug-in setting
from the Librarian menu.
Plug-ins Settings Select Button Accesses the
Plug-in Settings dialog, which lists the settings
files for the current plug-in. From this list, you
can select a new setting, or audition a series of
settings.
Compare Toggles between the original saved
plug-in setting and any changes you have made
to it so you can compare them.
Auto Button Lets you enable individual plug-in
controls for automation recording. See “Auto-
mating Plug-ins” on page 703.

ing plug-in automation from being overwritten.
Target Button When multiple Plug-in windows
are open, clicking this button selects that plug-
in as the target for any computer keyboard com-
mands. For more information, see “Targeted
Windows” on page 649.
Key Input Selector Lets you select audio on a
particular input or bus and route it to trigger the
plug-in. This menu only appears on plug-ins
that feature side-chain processing. Key inputs
are monophonic.
MIDI Node Display Shows MIDI node informa-
tion for MIDI-enabled plug-ins. MIDI nodes are
virtual connections from Pro Tools to software
instruments and other MIDI-enabled plug-ins.
MIDI nodes are useful for routing multiple MIDI
tracks to different channels of a single virtual
MIDI device. MIDI node numbers are also dis-
played in a track’s MIDI Output selector.
Master Link Button When enabled, links the
controls on all channels of a multi-mono plug-
in so that they can be adjusted in tandem.
You will lose the current settings if they are
not saved before you use the Next and Pre-
vious Setting buttons. Always save your set-
tings to the Librarian menu.
