Chapter 18: Plug-Ins 153
Zoom View (Plug-In View Mode)
In Zoom view, a single rack remains on-screen to the left, and
the rest of the screen displays the targeted plug-in.
To toggle Full or Zoom view modes, do one of the following:
Press the Plug-Ins switch (in the View Modes section), or
click the View toggle switch (upper right corner of the rack).
– or –
Double-click a plug-in icon in any rack view to open that
plug-in window in Zoom view.
Mini-View Mode
Mini-view mode is an option available in Full and Zoom
modes in which the rack slot displays are minimized and
plug-in icons are hidden, to let you see more of the racks at
one time. You can still bypass, route, and work with plug-in
snapshot controls in Mini-view mode.
To toggle mini-view on or off:
Click the Mini-view icon (upper left corner of the rack
view).
Identifying Rack Slots
The racks indicate which plug-in is currently targeted by high-
lighting its rack slot controls in blue.
Within each rack slot, color outlines appear around each
plug-in to indicate the type of plug-in currently targeted on
the control surface. The following colors are used:
Display of Unavailable or Inactive Plug-Ins
It is possible for a plug-in to be displayed in a rack slot but be
unavailable for channel and bus processing. This can occur in
any of the following circumstances:
• There is not enough DSP available for the plug-in.
• The assigned plug-in is part of the show file but is not in-
stalled on the current system.
• The plug-in has been disabled manually.
Unavailable Plug-Ins
When a plug-in cannot be used due to insufficient DSP re-
sources, because it is disabled, or because it is not installed, a
warning icon appears in front of that plug-in. The plug-in icon
is dimmed, and the rack slot Power switch has a yellow LED.
