Plug-in Mapping

Pro Tools lets you customize the arrangement of
plug-in parameter controls on supported con-
trol surfaces. You can save these customized
plug-in maps as presets and export them for use
across different sessions and systems.
Plug-in Learn Mode
Plug-ins can be put into Learn mode, from
which any automatable plug-in parameter can
be mapped to a channel strip encoder, switch, or
(in Flip mode) fader on the control surface.
Plug-in Map Presets
A map for a plug-in can be saved and recalled for
any plug-in of the same type.
You can save multiple map presets for a single
plug-in, and switch between maps at any time
during a session.
