Channel Column
The channel column provides an overview of the plug-in state of
a single channel, and all channels in the bank are displayed con-
currently. All UAD plug-ins loaded in the channel are displayed
here, along with an output meter for the channel.
Note: The number of displayed channel columns is defined
by the bank size setting in Settings View.
Insert Slots
The insert slots indicate the current status of each plug-in, and
provide a shortcut to Channel View, where the individual plug-
ins are manipulated. Up to eight slots are available within each
channel to facilitate serial signal processing.
Tip: Click anywhere in any empty column space to jump to
Channel View for assigning and editing plug-ins in the slot.
Channel Signal Flow
Audio signals in a channel flow through the inserts serially from
top to bottom. Therefore, if more than one plug-in is inserted in
a channel, the location of a plug-in within the inserts can impact
the sound of the channel. Inserts can be
to change the serial processing order.
State Indication
Populated insert slots contain a thumbnail image of the UAD
plug-in that is loaded in the slot. The state of loaded plug-ins
within each insert slot can be determined by the background
color of the slot, as follows:
Active (light gray) – The plug-in is active and processing audio.
Inactive (dark blue) – The plug-in has been disabled by the
power button in Channel View, and the plug-in name is italicized
(the EMT 140 slot at right indicates this state).
Note: Disabling a plug-in via the power control within its GUI interface (versus the
Power button in Channel View) does not change the background color or italicize
the name.
Disabled (red) – The plug-in is disabled because there is not enough UAD resources, it is
unlicensed and the demo has expired, and/or the UAD authorization needs updating. The
plug-in name is also italicized. The EP-34 slot at right indicates this state.
Empty (+) – The slot is not populated with a plug-in. Click the”+” symbol to switch to
Channel View and insert a plug-in into the slot.
Tip: Click anywhere in any empty column space to insert a plug-in at that location.
