You can also recall the search query that was used to find the Plug-in preset currently loaded in the
Plug-in slot (see section

for more information).

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

3.3.9, 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 parameters via the
own user interface of the VST/AU plug-in. More on this in

7.3, Using Native Instruments and Ex-

ternal Plug-ins

.

7.1.5

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.
