SurroundBridge Plug-in Linker

The SurroundBridge Plugin Linker allows you to use stereo plug-ins in a surround bus that has more than two channels. The Plugin Linker creates multiple instances of the plug-in.

Unlink Controls

You can unlink a parameter in an instance of a plug-in by clicking the Unlink Controls button so that it turns red, making some adjustments to the parameters that you want to unlink, and then clicking the Unlink Controls button again so that it’s not red.

Presets

Existing plug-in presets are available in the SurroundBridge Plugin Linker. When you select a stereo preset, the settings apply to each instance of the plug-in. If you save a surround preset, it saves the settings in each instance as well as the channel configuration. Surround presets are only compatible with the current configuration.

Plug-in Instance Configuration

The Plug-in Instance Configuration has the following elements:

Plug-in #. The plug-in number (tabs from left to right).

Left Output. The surround output for the left channel of the plug-in instance. If there is only one output for an instance, the Center channel for example, it appears in the Left output column.

Right Output. The surround output for the right channel of the plug-in instance.

Controls Linked to Group. Use this group to unlink an entire instance by unchecking this option for that instance.

Enable. Acts as a bypass for that instance.

Unlinked Parameters

This field lists all the parameters that are unlinked.
