Active and Inactive Plug-Ins
To toggle the active/inactive state of a plug-in:
Click the appropriate rack slot Power switch. When active,
the Power switch is lit green. When a plug-in is unavailable
(and inactive), the Power switch is lit yellow.
Routing Plug-Ins
After a plug-in has been assigned to a rack slot, you can specify
its routing. Plug-In routing determines whether the plug-in is
used as a channel insert or as a bus processor.
Using Plug-Ins as Channel Inserts
Each channel provides four slots for channel inserts. Signal
from the channel is routed to the insert and returned to the
same channel. You can assign plug-ins to specific channel in-
sert points from the Plug-Ins screen or from the Input screen.
To insert a plug-in on a channel from the Inputs or Outputs page:
1 Go to the Input or Output screen.
2 Click the first available Channel Insert selector and choose
an available plug-in from the rack sub-menus. All currently
available plug-ins of a compatible mono/stereo format are
listed in the sub-menus. Plug-Ins that are unavailable are
listed in italics. Plug-Ins that are already assigned as channel
inserts are shown with their insert assignment.
3 The plug-in appears in the Inserts list for that channel.
4 To open the window for an inserted plug-in, click its name
in the channel Inserts list.
To insert a plug-in on a channel from the Plug-Ins page:
1 Make sure the plug-in is already assigned to a rack slot. (See
“Assigning and Routing Plug-Ins” on page 155.)
2 Click the Input (source) selector in the rack slot and choose
a channel from its Inserts sub-menu.
The rack slot automatically identifies and connects to the first
available insert slot (1–4) on the selected channel. The Chan-
nel Insert selector shows the current insert position.
If no insert slots are available on the channel, the selector dis-
plays a question mark.
Using Plug-Ins as a Bus Processor
Plug-Ins can be used on busses for send-and-return processing
with effects such as reverb and delay. A plug-in is configured
for bus processing by assigning an Aux, Group, Matrix, PQ or
Mains bus (including Monitor output), or an input channel
Direct Out, as the plug-in input source, then assigning the
output of the plug-in to an input channel or FX return, or to
a hardware output, as follows:
• Return bus-fed plug-ins to an input or FX Return to estab-
lish an effects send-and-return path.
• Route bus-fed plug-ins to a hardware output for special-
ized processing needs (such as feeding an external cross-
over).
You assign plug-ins for bus processing in the Plug-Ins screen.
To use a plug-in as a bus processor:
1 Go to the Plug-Ins screen.
2 Make sure the plug-in is installed and assigned to a rack slot.
