Work with plug-ins in the Mixer in Logic Pro for iPad
In addition to working with plug-ins in the Plug-ins area, you can work with plug-ins in channel strips in the Mixer. You can add plug-ins, replace a plug-in with a different one, and remove plug-ins in the Mixer. You can also reorder plug-ins and open plug-ins in Details view in the Mixer.
Add a plug-in to a channel strip in the Mixer
In Logic Pro, tap the Setup button in the Mixer menu bar (if it is not already selected).
Do one of the following:
To add a MIDI effect plug-in (on a software instrument track), tap an empty MIDI Effect slot, then choose a MIDI effect.
To add an audio effect plug-in, tap an empty Audio Effect slot, then choose an audio effect.
Open a plug-in in Details view from the Mixer
In Logic Pro, in the Mixer, do one of the following:
In Setup mode, tap a plug-in slot, then tap Open.
In Mix mode, tap a plug-in slot.
Replace a plug-in in the Mixer
In Setup mode, tap a plug-in slot, then tap Replace.
Choose a plug-in from the menu.
Move a plug-in to a different channel strip
In Setup mode, touch and hold a plug-in slot, then drag it to a different channel strip.
Copy a plug-in to a different channel strip
In Setup mode, tap a plug-in slot, then tap Copy.
On a different channel strip, tap an empty plug-in slot, then tap Paste.
Reorder plug-ins in the Mixer
In Setup mode, touch and hold a plug-in slot, then drag it up or down to reorder it.
Remove a plug-in in the Mixer
In Setup mode, tap a plug-in slot, then tap Remove.
Quickly turn plug-ins or sends on or off in the Mixer
Tap the Mix button in the Mixer menu bar (if it is not already selected).
Tap the On/Off button in the Mixer menu bar.
Do one of the following:
Tap any plug-in slot in a Mixer channel strip to turn the plug-in off, or, if it is turned off, to turn it on.
Tap any send slot in a Mixer channel strip to turn the send off, or, if it is turned off, to turn it on.
Turn plug-ins and sends on or off in Setup mode
In addition to using the On/Off button in Mix mode, you can bypass plug-ins and sends in Setup mode.
Tap the Setup button in the Mixer menu bar (if it is not already selected).
Do one of the following:
To bypass a plug-in, tap the plug-in slot in a channel strip, then tap Bypass.
To bypass a send, tap the Send pop-up menu for the send, then tap Bypass.
To turn on a bypassed plug-in or send, do one of the following:
To turn on a bypassed plug-in, tap the plug-in slot in a channel strip, then tap Turn On.
To turn on a bypassed send, tap the Send pop-up menu for the send, then tap Turn On.
When multiple channels strips contain the same plug-in, you can turn the plug-in on or off on all of them by selecting the channel strips, tapping the On/Off button, then tapping the plug-in on one of the selected channel strips.
For detailed information about using plug-ins, see Work with plug-ins in Logic Pro.
