Plug-In Mapping of EQ Controls

D-Show compatible EQ plug-ins can map their gain, fre-
quency, and Q/bandwidth controls to corresponding encod-
ers on the control surface.
When a plug-in provides additional parameters beyond those
that map to the dedicated EQ encoders, you can use the As-
signable Output Encoders and the Previous/Next switches in
the ACS.
All plug-ins, including EQ plug-ins that do not map directly
dedicated D-Show EQ encoders, can be controlled using the
Assignable Output Encoders.
To adjust an EQ plug-in from the control surface:
Target the channel with the plug-in by pressing the channel
1
Select switch.
Press the plug-in Select switch (located at the bottom of the
2
ACS EQ section).
Do one of the following:
3
• If the EQ plug-in maps correctly, adjust parameters by
pressing or turning the corresponding ACS EQ encoders.
– or –
• If the EQ plug-in does not map to the ACS controls, press
the Insert Mode switch in the Insert Processing section of
the ACS. Use the Assignable Output Encoders to adjust
parameters, and use the Previous Page and Next Page
switches to access other pages, bands and parameters.
See Chapter 19, "Plug-Ins."
