Selecting a plugin enters <strong>Parameter Edit Mode</strong>: The faders

and toggle controls of the selected plugin (once a plugin has been selected,

it stays in edit mode regardless of track selection). If there are more than

Pressing the Pan/Param encoder switches to the <strong>plugin-preset
|

display</strong>: Plugin preset names are displayed on the

scribble-displays, the <kbd>Select</kbd> button below each loads the preset.
|

The "Pan/Param" encoder can be used to scroll through presets if there are
|
||||
more than seven (right-most, 8th, slot is reserved to unload/clear a loaded
|
||||
preset, hold <kbd>Shift</kbd> to bank by 8). The <kbd>Select</kbd> button
|

color is used to indicate the currently loaded preset (if any) and blinks if

a parameter has been modified since loading the preset. Loading a preset or
