+ <dfn>generic plugin editor</dfn> from a small set of common control
+ elements. Ardour will do this even for plugins that have their
+ own, if <kbd class="menu">Edit > Preferences >
+ GUI > Use Plugins' own interface instead of Ardour's</kbd> is disabled.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ The generic UI can be temporarily switched to by <kbd class="mouse">right</kbd> clicking on
+ a processor and selecting <kbd class="menu">Edit with generic controls</kbd>.
+ This is necessary in order to access the <a href="@@automation">plugin
+ automation controls</a>.

+ In the generic UI, any controller can be reset to its default state by
+ <kbd class=mod3n></kbd><kbd class=mouse>Left</kbd>-clicking on it.

+<h2>Description</h2>
+
+<p>
+ This is a rarely used section that displays the contents of the description
+ metadata of a plugin.
+</p>
+
+<h2>CPU Profile</h2>
+
+<p>
+ This section displays CPU time measurements for the currently opened plugin.
+ For more information, please see the documentation on the
+ <a href="/troubleshooting/plugin-dsp-load/">Plugin DSP Load window</a>.
+</p>
+
+<h2>Analysis Graph</h2>
+
+<p>
+ At the bottom of the generic plugin editor, clicking the arrow displays the
+ <dfn>Analysis Graph</dfn>.
+</p>
+<p>
+ This graph displays:
+</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>the <span style="background-color:black; color:white;">transfer function</span> in white,</li>
+ <li>the <span style="background-color:black; color:red;">phase response</span> in red (optional),</li>
+ <li>the <span style="background-color:black; color:green;">post effect spectrum</span> in green.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+ The <dfn>transfer function</dfn> plots the output amplitude of the plugin (considered
+ as a "black box") against its input amplitude, along the audio spectrum.
+</p>
+<p>
+ The <dfn>phase response</dfn>, that can be switched on or off using the
+ <kbd class="option">Show phase</kbd> checkbox, plots the phase of the
+ plugins output against its input phase, along the audio spectrum. The scale is
+ shown in <span style="background-color:black; color:yellow;">yellow</span> on
+ the right.
