Using the Plug-in Window

Hands-on operation of plug-ins takes place in the plug-in window. This window allows
access to all plug-in parameters. Each instance of a plug-in has its own plug-in window,
allowing each to have discrete settings.

The plug-in window is automatically opened when you insert a plug-in. This behavior
can be overridden by turning off the “Open Plug-in window on insertion” checkbox in
the Logic Pro > Preferences > Audio > General tab.

To close a plug-in window:

m

Click on the X icon at the top left of the plug-in window.

Note: Closing the plug-in window does not deactivate the plug-in.

To open a closed plug-in window:

m

Double-click on an assigned Insert or Instrument slot (the name of the plug-in is shown
on the slot).

To hide or show all open plug-in windows:

m

Use the Hide/Show All Plug-in Windows key command (default: V).

Adjusting Plug-in Parameters

find in Logic Pro plug-in windows. Full details on the parameters of each individual
plug-in can be found in the Logic Studio Instruments and Effects manual.
