Intro to the Plug-ins area in Logic Pro for iPad
You can view and edit the plug-ins for a track (or channel strip) in the Plug-ins area. You can also view and edit the sends on the track and the plug-ins for the output channel of the track.
When you open the Plug-ins area, it appears above the view control bar. The track name appears on the left side of the Plug-ins area menu bar. Plug-ins appear as rectangles called tiles, each showing key editable parameters.
The Plug-ins area features three views—Track view, Sends view, and Output view—that you access using the View buttons in the center of the Plug-ins area menu bar.
Track view: Add, replace, reorder, and remove plug-ins on the selected track. You can edit key plug-in parameters directly on plug-in tiles or open plug-ins in Details view to access all plug-in parameters.
When a channel strip is selected rather than a track, the name changes to Channel view.
Sends view: Add sends, change send destinations, and adjust the send level.
Output view: Add, replace, reorder, and remove plug-ins from the output channel strip for the track. You can edit key plug-in parameters directly on plug-in tiles or open plug-ins in Details view to access all plug-in parameters.
When you select a track in the Tracks area, the Plug-ins area shows the plug-ins and sends for the selected track. This makes it easy to move between tracks to view plug-in and send settings and to edit plug-ins, sends, and other aspects of the signal flow.
Details view
In the Plug-ins area, plug-ins appear as tiles, but you can open a plug-in in Details view from either Track or Output view. In Details view, the plug-in expands to fill the width of the Logic Pro window, and all plug-in parameters are available to view and edit (sometimes by scrolling or using an overview). You can move between plug-ins in Details view by tapping the mini plug-in tiles at the bottom of the view.
For more information, see Intro to Details view for plug-ins.
Open the Plug-ins area
In Logic Pro, tap the Plug-ins button
in the center of the view control bar.
The Plug-ins area also includes options to choose the automation mode for the track, copy and paste channel strip settings, remove all effect plug-ins or all bypassed plug-ins, and reset the channel strip. See Additional Plug-ins area options in Logic Pro for iPad.
