Removing Unavailable Plug-ins from the Racks
Unavailable plug-ins can be removed from rack slots using the
Remove Unavailable Plug-Ins command.
To manually remove unavailable plug-ins:
1 Put the system in Config mode.
2 Make sure the plug-in rack is fully initialized (the Status in-
dicator displays OK).
3 Click the Plug-In selector in any rack slot and choose Remove
Unavailable Plug-Ins. This menu item is only available when
one or more unavailable plug-ins are present in the rack.
4 Click Remove to proceed, or click Cancel. If you proceed with
the removal:
• All unavailable plug-ins are removed from the rack.
• Italicized entries for unavailable plug-ins are removed
from all plug-in menu lists.

the Insert Processing section of all affected channels, and
the insert point plug-in is set to None.
• All references to unavailable plug-ins are removed from
all snapshots.
The new, updated list of available plug-ins is subsequently
saved to the Show file.
History File and Removing Plug-ins
A History file is written immediately before removing unavail-
able plug-ins from the rack, letting you recall that History file
to revert the system to its state prior to removing plug-ins.

Overview of Working with Plug-Ins
The Plug-Ins screen displays the plug-in Racks, where the ma-
jority of plug-in features are located.
To access the Plug-Ins page:
Press the Plug-Ins switch in the View Mode section (or click
the Plug-Ins tab). By default, the Plug-Ins page displays all four
racks, which are empty until plug-ins have been assigned. (See
also ““Jump To” Plug-Ins” on page 159.)
You populate the racks by assigning plug-ins in rack slots. Dur-
ing a performance, plug-ins that have been assigned in rack
slots can be inserted on channels and routed to/from busses
on-screen. Plug-in parameters can then be adjusted from the
console as well as on-screen.
