The Plug-in Windows and their Parameters
You can edit the effect’s parameters by double-clicking on the (active) Insert slot, which
will launch the Plug-in window. Many of Logic’s effects feature an enhanced graphical
interface—as you’ve already discovered with the Channel EQ.
Note: By default, the Plug-in window will automatically launch as soon as any plug-in is
inserted. A double-click on the Insert slot will reopen the window if you have closed it.
Please refer to the Logic reference or Onscreen Help system for specific information on
the parameters and use of each effect.
Plug-in Settings
Settings are used to store all parameter adjustments you make in the Plug-in window of
each effect (and instrument). Every Logic and third-party plug-in allows the storage
and recall of settings. settings are accessible by click-holding on the Settings pull-down
menu (the downwards-pointing arrow) below the Bypass button at the top of the Plug-
in window.
• Within the Settings pull-down menu you can load an effect (or instrument) preset via
the Load Setting option.
• To save your own personalized plug-in settings, adjust the parameters of the effect
(or instrument) as desired, then click hold on the Settings pull-down menu and select
Save Setting. In the ensuing operating system file dialog window, type in an
appropriate name for your Setting, and press the Save button.
• You can also use the Settings pull-down menu to copy and paste parameters
between Settings.
Note: Logic automatically creates a folder called “Plug-In Settings” when first installed.
Within this folder, a separate sub-folder is created for each effect. When you use the
Save/Load Preset functions in the Settings pull-down menu, Logic will automatically
save/load the Setting file to/from the corresponding effect folder. As each effect Setting
is stored in its own associated folder, you should find it easy to manage hundreds of
presets. This feature is applicable to all Logic and third-party effects.
Important: It is recommended that you do not attempt to change the folder structure
within the Plug-In Settings folder.
