one time. You can bypass, route, and work with plug-in snap-
shot controls in Mini-view mode.

section. For example, an EQ plug-in that is currently

Display of Unavailable or Inactive Plug-Ins
It is possible for a plug-in to be displayed in a rack slot but be
unavailable for channel and bus processing. This can occur in
any of the following circumstances:
• There are not enough DSP resources available for the
plug-in.
• The assigned plug-in is part of the show file but is not in-
stalled on the current system.
• The plug-in has been disabled manually.
Place the cursor over the Tool Tips icon to see an expla-
nation of why the plug-in is not available. To view DSP
resource allocation, see "DSPs Available for Plug-Ins" on
page 42.
