Opening, Closing, and Resizing Plug-in Windows

Hands-on operation of plug-ins takes place in the plug-in window. This window allows access to all plug-in parameters. Each instance of a plug-in has its own plug-in window, allowing each to have discrete settings.

The plug-in window opens automatically when you insert a plug-in. This behavior can be overridden by deselecting the “Open plug-in window on insertion” checkbox in the Logic Pro > Preferences > Display > Mixer pane.
