Basics

Plug-in Settings

Logic’s plug-ins ship with a library of ready-to-play preset sounds, known as Settings.
These Settings can be found in the Logic > Plug-In Settings subfolder, following the
installation procedure.

Note:

It is strongly recommended that you do not attempt to change the Logic > Plug-

in Settings folder structure. Within the Plug-in Settings folder you are, however, free to
sort your settings into sub folders. This folder structure is reflected in a hierarchical
menu, shown each time you load a plug-in setting.

All current plug-in settings are stored with the song file, and are automatically recalled
the next time you load the song. You can also recall and save individual settings via the
Settings menu functions. The Settings pull-down menu can be opened by clicking on
the

Arrow

in the gray area at the top of the Plug-in window.

Functions of the Settings Menu

In the gray area at the top of each Plug-in window is an Arrow button. Clicking on it
opens the Settings menu, which features the following functions:

Copy Setting

Choose this entry to copy all parameter settings into a special Settings clipboard, which
is independent from the global Logic clipboard.

Paste Setting

If you have opened a plug-in of the same type (two SilverVerb instances, for example),
you can use this command to paste the parameter set from one to the other via the
Settings clipboard.

Save Setting

This allows you to name and save a setting.

Note:

If you save a Setting with the name of

#default

in a plug-in’s Settings folder, it will

be loaded as the default plug-in Setting.
