Replacing Setting-Compatible Plug-ins
When you replace a plug-in with another plug-in that is setting-compatible, the new
plug-in automatically uses the setting of the replaced plug-in.
For example, when you replace an ES2-based GarageBand instrument with the ES2, the
inserted ES2 uses the same setting as the replaced ES2-based GarageBand instrument. It
also works for most EXS-based GarageBand instruments, with two exceptions: Hybrid
Morph and Hybrid Basic.
Switching the Contents of the Plug-in Window
You can reassign any open plug-in window in two different ways: via the Show Channel
Strip menu and the Show Insert menu:
• Click the Show Channel Strip menu to switch the plug-in window between all channel
strips that use the same plug-in. If you have inserted the ES2 on tracks 1 and 6, for
example, you can switch between these channel strips and adjust the parameters of
each ES2 instance, respectively.
• Click the Show Insert menu to switch between the plug-in slots of the selected channel
strip. For example, if a particular channel strip uses an equalizer and an ES2 plug-in,
you can switch between these plug-ins.
Switching the Plug-in Window View Mode
Plug-in parameters can be viewed in two forms: Controls view and Editor view. The Editor
view shows the plug-in’s graphical interface, if it offers one.
The Controls view displays all plug-in functions as a set of horizontal sliders, with numerical
fields to the left of each parameter. These fields are used for both the display and entry
of data values.
