Hiding Default Plug-in Map Pages

When you create a custom plug-in map, its pa-
rameters are arranged in pages that correspond
to the groups of controls that appear on a con-
trol surface.

When you page through the controls for a plug-
in on a control surface, the pages for custom
plug-in maps appear first, and the pages for the
Factory Default map appear after the custom
pages.

You can hide the Factory Default pages of a
plug-in, so that only the custom pages appear
on the control surface. This applies to all in-
stances of the plug-in.

To hide the Factory Default pages of a plug-in map:

1

Open the plug-in whose default plug-in map

pages you want to hide.

2

From the Map Options pop-up menu, choose

Hide Factory Default Pages.

Exporting and Importing Plug-in Maps

Plug-in maps can be exported as .pim files for use
on other Pro Tools systems.

When exporting plug-in maps, you can choose
to save individual map files for each plug-in, or
a single map file containing all the plug-in maps
for the system.

To export an individual plug-in map:

1

Open the plug-in whose map you want to ex-

port.

2

Choose the map you want to export from the

Map Presets pop-up menu.

3

From the Map Options pop-up menu, choose

Export Current Plug-in Map.

4

Choose a location for the map file.

Click Save.

To export all plug-in maps in the system to a single
map file:

1

Open any plug-in in the session.

2

From the Map Options pop-up menu, choose

Export All Plug-in Maps.

3

Choose a location for the map file.

4

Click Save.

To import a map file:

1

Open the plug-in where you want to import a

plug-in map.

2

Import Plug-in Maps From File.

3

import.

On D-Control and D-Command systems,
when you export all plug-in maps, you are

ping to the same file. For more information,
