Setting a Custom Plug-in Map as the 
Default Map
You can set a custom plug-in map as the default 
map for a plug-in, instead of the Factory Default 
map.
When you set a custom plug-in map as the de-
fault, it applies across the entire session. All in-
stances of that plug-in that were set to the Fac-
tory Default map, or to another custom default 
map, change to the new default.
If you change parameter mapping in the custom 
plug-in map that has been set as the default, the 
changes will propagate to all instances of the 
plug-in using that default.
How Default Plug-in Map Settings are Stored
Default map settings are stored as global (sys-
tem-wide) Pro Tools preferences, so they are ap-
plied to all sessions that you subsequently open 
or create on that system.
On D-Control and D-Command systems, 
when you delete all plug-in maps, you are 
also deleting all Custom Fader Plug-in 
mappings. For more information, see the 
D-Control Guide or D-Command Guide.
When you export a plug-in map, the default 
map setting for that plug-in is also exported. 
When that map is imported, the default set-
ting is also updated, and all instances of the 
plug-in change to the new default. 
If you plan to work with the same plug-in 
mapping on multiple sessions, back up your 
settings by exporting all plug-in maps on a 
regular basis and saving the .pim file with 
your sessions.
