Each processor has a set of associated parameters that define that processor (such as a frequency curve); those parameters can be accessed and changed by double- clicking again on the now inserted process block. This action opens a customizable dialog box, a new window that contains parameters for the process (figure 5-6).

• The Set Defaults button lets you discard all custom settings and reload the factory defaults.

• The Bypass button lets you temporarily suspend the processor without removing the processor block.

By default, each processor block is automatically bypassed when inserted (the Bypass button in the processor dialog box is selected), although this can be changed for each processor block type, see “DSP Configuratotor Tools menu“ and the specific tabs for the processor types. When a processor is bypassed, a red indicator in the block turns on.

NFigure 5-6 is a sample of one type of dialog box. The contents and appearance of each processor are unique to that processor.

The block can be removed from the audio stream by selecting it and depressing the keyboard Delete key or by right-clicking and selecting Delete.
