Greetings,
There are 2 special function views on S6 - EQ and DYNAMICS. EQ is always associated with a Magenta color while DYNAMICS is identified by a Green color. These modes are in addition to the standard INSERTS and Insert Parameters which is displayed on the surface in a Teal color.
Here's a screen grab from the AAX Pagetable editor showing the dedicated DYN mapping for the plug-in Pro Compressor from Avid:
The parameters shown under
Parameter Name are the parameters from the plug-in mapped to the available values labeled
Function which are part of the dedicated DYN set. For example, since there is no dedicated Wet/Dry or Mix parameter in the DYN set, parameter
Dry Mix was alternately assigned to the knob which otherwise would control
Low Pass Frequency. Obviously there are many parameters that line up perfectly such as
Threshold,
Ratio,
Attack,
Release, etc.
Because there is some variance between the parameters contained within different dynamics plug-ins, manufactures can pick and choose how to use the standard DYN set. Again, this is in addition to the standard INSERTS parameters mode which will always show all parameters, just not necessarily in a predictable arrangement.
