It will always be loaded when that plug-in type is opened. The #default setting is also
useful as a starting point when creating new plug-in settings, or as a fallback position
when you’ve been experimenting.

To delete a setting

µ

Choose Delete Setting from the Settings menu.

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.
