Automating Plug-ins
Overview
Plug-in parameters are no different from those of any other processing block, except for one thing
– enabling them.
The names and types of plug-in parameters vary according the manufacturer and product, so the
enabling cannot be done from a dedicated layout. For this reason, you must use touch to enable
plug-in parameters. Here’s how you do it.
Get Ready
Press the green Mixer button.
Press the
mix ON button so that it is illuminated.
Press the
mix menu button.
Press the
auto enable soft key so that it is illuminated.
