3 To view a plugin editor, double-click on the plugin within the
4 <a href="@@processor-box">processor box</a>.
5 A new window will appear showing the editor/GUI for the plugin.
8 <p class=fixme>Add a pic showing the generic GUI</p>
11 If a plugin does not have its own GUI, Ardour will construct a
12 <dfn>generic plugin editor</dfn> from a small set of common control
13 elements. Ardour will do this even for plugins that have their
14 own, if <kbd class="menu">Edit > Preferences >
15 GUI > Use Plugins' own interface instead of Ardour's</kbd> is disabled.
19 The generic UI can be temporarily switched to by context-clicking on
20 a processor and selecting <kbd class="menu">Edit with generic controls</kbd>.
21 This is necessary in order to access the <a href="@@automation">plugin
22 automation controls</a>.
26 In the generic UI, any controller can be reset to its default state by
27 <kbd class=mod3n></kbd><kbd class=mouse>Left</kbd>-clicking on it.
