Linking Plug-ins
The button to the extreme left of the plug-in window header (with a chain on it) is called
the Link button.
When the Link Button Is Switched On
• A single plug-in window is used to display all open plug-ins. Each time you open a new
plug-in, the window updates to reflect the newly chosen plug-in.
• Choosing a different arrange track updates an open plug-in window to display the
corresponding slot number of the newly selected track or channel strip. For example:
• Track 1, assigned to instrument channel strip 1, has an ES1 instance loaded (in the
Instrument slot).
• Track 11, assigned to instrument channel strip 2, has an EXS24 mkII instance loaded.
• Switching between tracks 1 and 11 automatically updates the plug-in window to
show the ES 1 or EXS24 mkII, respectively.
