Strip Name
Displays the name of the strip the plug-in is assigned to. The name for the plug-in can be changed by double-click-
ing on the strip name, then typing in a name and hitting the Return key to confirm. If a plug-in name is changed in
this way, subsequent changes to the parent mixer-strip name do not affect the plug-in strip name. To recover the
name of the parent strip, simply remove the strip name.
Activate/Deactivate Plug-in
This button switches the entire Strip plug-in on or off. Note that when the plug-in is switched off, it doesn't con-
sume any DSP power.

Routing Button Matrix

The buttons determine which audio channels running through the Bus will be processed by the plug-in. The num-
ber of buttons shown depends on the number of channels controlled by the Bus. In the case of a multiple sur-
round Bus this may be up to 64. A single instance of Bus Tools can process up to 8 channels selected from this
matrix.
A 5.1 surround bus will have six buttons. The order of the channels selected by the buttons is (from left to right):
Left, Center, Right, Left Surround, Right Surround, Subwoofer.
This enables, for example, the Left, Center and Right channels of a surround Bus to be independently processed
from the surround channels by adding two Bus Tools plug-ins to the Bus and selecting L, C, R in the first and LS and
RS in the second.
Using Bus Tools on multiple surround buses
Although a single instance of Bus Tools can process 8 channels it is simple to use multiple instances to process
many more with linked parameters. E.g. with four surround Buses you could use 3 instances. Assign the L & R chan-
nels of each Bus to Bus Tools A, the Centers of each bus to Bus Tools B and the Surround Ls and Rs of each Bus to
Bus Tools C. The 3 Bus Tools can then be linked as you wish by right-clicking and creating control groups in the yel-
low matrix. If Delay Compensation (see below) is activated all channels will remain time-aligned, even when using
Pre-Anticipation.
Linking Bus -Tools controls
Any choice of Bus Tools controls can be linked together. When you move any of the controls which is a member of
a link group, all the other members of the group also move. There are 48 link groups for linear/rotary controls and
48 link groups for switches.
