6.1.4 Adjusting the Plug-in Parameters
 
The procedure for adjusting the Plug-in parameters is common to all types of Plug-ins and all
sets  of  Channel  properties.  It  is  described  in  section  ↑2.3.9,  Navigating  Channel  Properties,
Plug-ins, and Parameter Pages in the Control Area.
Native Instruments and External Plug-ins only: You can also adjust the Plug-in parame-
ters via the own user interface of the VST/AU plug-in. More on this in ↑6.2.6, Page 6:
Velocity / Modwheel.
6.1.5 Bypassing Plug-in Slots
 
You can bypass  (or “mute”) any  Plug-in slot. When  a Plug-in  slot is bypassed,  the Plug-in it
contains is temporarily removed from the signal flow and does not process the audio passing
through the slot. Instead, the incoming audio is directly sent to the next Plug-in slot for further
processing (or to the channel’s output if you bypass its last Plug-in slot).
Bypassing Plug-in slots can be very useful in various situations, for example:
▪ Bypassing and re-enabling an effect during a live performance.
▪ Comparing the sound with and without an effect.
▪ Troubleshooting complex  effect  chains and  routings  (“Where does  this  strange reverb  tail
come from?”).
To bypass a Plug-in, do the following:
1. If you want to bypass a Plug-in of the Master, click the MASTER tab in the top left corner
of the Control area.
2. If you want to bypass a Plug-in of a Group, click the desired Group on the left of the Ar-
ranger, and click the GROUP tab in the top left corner of the Control area.
3. If you want to bypass a Plug-in of a Sound, click the Group of its parent Group in the Ar-
ranger,  click  the  desired  Sound  slot  on  the  left  of  the  Pattern  Editor,  and  click  the
SOUND tab in the top left corner of the Control area.
