Figure 15.4: MIOStrip UI
The M/S processor uses a generic interface -- one that is automatically created from the parameters in the plug-
in. The MIOStrip uses a custom interface -- one generated by us with a specific layout and special UI elements.
All of the plug-in UI's share the plug-in bar at the top of the window. This bar provides generic services for
managing the state of any plug-in.
Figure 15.5: Plug-in Bar
Every plug-in window has a parameter library pop-up, 5 setup registers and a master bypass button. The
parameter library pop-up is like all the other parameter library pop-ups in the console. The parameter library
is automatically shared amongst all instances of a particular plug-in type. Actually, it is automatically shared
amongst all instances of compatible plug-in types, so MIOStrip Mono and MIOStrip Stereo automatically share
preset libraries.
The 5 setup registers are a unique feature of +DSP. Each button corresponds to a set of parameters. If the button
has not been activated, the register will be clear, and nothing will happen when you click on the button. When
you click onto another register button, the current plug-in parameters will be saved into the register button.
This allows you to make multiple alternate setups, and instantly switch between the setups. Sort of an A/B/
C/D/E switch.
For plug-ins that have a sidechain, there is a pop-up that allows you to select any input or bus as a sidechain
source.
Finally, the bypass button in the header bar is a master bypass for all processing in the plug-in.
Multichannel Plug-ins
Many plug-ins come in two versions; m/m (mono in – mono out) and s/s (stereo in – stereo out). MIO Console's
inserts are context aware; you will always have the m/m option, and will have the s/s option on stereo tracks.
