2. On the SurroundBridge tab of the effect's property page, use the dropdown menus in the Left Input
and Right Input columns to assign individual surround channels to instances of the effect.
Your assignments take effect immediately, and the names of the tabs in the property page change to
reflect the new assignments.
To Unlink Individual Effect Parameters from Other Effect Instances
1. In the property page of an effect that's patched into a surround bus, click the Unlink Controls
button so that it turns red.
2. Make some adjustments to the automatable parameters you want to unlink (non-automatable
parameters are not linked together). You can select parameters on any tab. SONAR will
automatically capture which controls you change and unlink them from the corresponding controls
for the other surround channels.
3. When you're finished adjusting parameters, click the Unlink Controls button again so that it's not
red.
Now you can adjust the parameters you adjusted, without automatically adjusting the same
parameters that are on other tabs of the effect's property page. As long as the Unlink Controls button is
not red, all other controls will remain linked.
A list of the parameters that you unlinked appears in the Unlinked Controls field on the
SurroundBridge tab, with the instance number listed in the Plug-in # column of the Unlinked Controls
field.
If you unlinked some but not all of an instance's parameters, the instance's checkbox in the Controls
Linked to Group column appears grey, with a check.
To view a list of the automatable parameters in a particular effect, uncheck one of the Controls Linked
to Group checkboxes on the SurroundBridge tab, and read the list in the Unlinked Controls field.
To Relink Individual Effect Parameters to Other Effect Instances
1. In the Unlinked Controls field on the SurroundBridge tab, select the parameters you want to
relink—if the parameters you want to select are adjacent, you can Shift-click the first and last ones
in the group. If they're not adjacent, you can Ctrl-click them individually.
2. Click the Relink Controls button.
The parameters you relinked are removed from the list.
To Unlink All of an Instance's Parameters from Other Instances
1. In the property page of an effect that's patched into a surround bus, click the SurroundBridge tab.
2. Find the instance you want to unlink in the Plug-in # column, and uncheck its Controls Linked to
Group checkbox.
The parameters you unlinked appear in the Unlinked Controls field, with the instance number listed in
the Plug-in # column of the Unlinked Controls field.
Note: to relink all of an instance's parameters, recheck its Controls Linked to Group checkbox.
To Disable an Instance
• On the SurroundBridge tab of the effect's property page, uncheck the Enable checkbox of the plug-
in you want to disable. The instance's tab becomes greyed-out when you do this. You can re-enable
the instance by rechecking the checkbox.
The Enable checkbox is a separate bypass system from the Bypass button that is on the instance's
individual property tab. Disabling an instance by using the Enable checkbox lightens the CPU load by
taking the instance out of the processing path. The Bypass button on the instance's property tab does
