Thru

Thru is a processor bypass control. When Thru is enabled, all controls are in-
active, emulation processing is disabled, and DSP usage is reduced.

Thru behavior is similar to that of the OFF position in the POWER control
(

page 26

), except that the

Meters

are still active in Thru mode. In this state, the

Meters indicate signal levels at the input of the plug-in prior to processing.

Note:

DSP usage is reduced only when DSP LoadLock is disabled. If DSP

LoadLock is enabled (the default setting), activating Thru will not reduce DSP
usage.

Tape Reels

Animation

When the secondary controls panel is closed
(

Figure 1 on page 19

), by default the graphi-

cal tape reels “spin” if the DAW transport is
running. The tape reels animation can be dis-
abled by clicking the capstan graphic.
Re-clicking the capstan will re-start the animation.

The “spin state” is saved until it is changed again.

Note:

Spinning reels automation is not supported in all hosts. In Sonar, the

plug-in must be configured as a “tempo-based effect” for reels animation.
