Removing a Plug-in
To remove a Plug-in from its slot, do the following:
▶
Press
SHIFT
+ Button 8 (
REMOVE
).
→
The Plug-in is unloaded from the slot. All following Plug-ins are shifted one slot upwards to fill
the gap.
Alternatively, you can press
SHIFT
+

, turn the 4-D encoder (or Knob 8) to select
(none)

Replacing a Plug-in
▶
To replace a Plug-in, simply select its slot and load a new Plug-in as described above.
You can also recall the search query that was used to find the Plug-in preset currently
loaded in the Plug-in slot (see section
for more information).
10.2. Adjusting the Plug-in Parameters
The procedure for adjusting the Plug-in parameters is common to all types of Plug-ins and all sets
of Channel properties. It is described in section
Navigating Channel Properties, Plug-ins, and
.
10.3. Bypassing Plug-in Slots
You can bypass (or “mute”) any Plug-in slot. When a Plug-in slot is bypassed, the Plug-in it
contains is temporarily removed from the signal flow and does not process the audio passing
through the slot. Instead, the incoming audio is directly sent to the next Plug-in slot for further
processing (or to the channel’s output if you bypass its last Plug-in slot).
Bypassing Plug-in slots can be very useful in various situations, for example:
• Bypassing and re-enabling an effect during a live performance.
• Comparing the sound with and without an effect.
• Troubleshooting complex effect chains and routings.
