title: Working with Ardour-built Plugin Editors

|
<p>
|
|
To view a plugin editor, double-click on the plugin within the
|
|
<a href="/working-with-plugins/the-processor-box">processor box</a>.
|
|
A new window will appear showing the editor/GUI for the plugin.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If a plugin does not have its own GUI, Ardour will construct a
|
|
<dfn>generic plugin editor</dfn> from a small set of common control
|
|
elements. Ardour will do this even for plugins that have their
|
|
own, if you disable <kbd class="menu">Edit > Preferences >
|
|
GUI > Use Plugins' own interface instead of Ardour's</kbd>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can temporarily switch to the generic UI by context-clicking on
|
|
a processor and selecting <kbd
|
|
class="menu">Edit with generic controls</kbd>. This will be necessary to
|
|
access the <a href="/automation">plugin automation controls</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In the generic UI, you can re-set any controller to its default by
|
|
<kbd class="mod3 mouse">Left</kbd>-clicking on it.
|
|
