+  To view a plugin editor, double-click on the plugin within the 
+  <a href="/working-with-plugins/processor-box/">processor box</a>. 
+  A new window will appear showing the editor/GUI for the plugin.
+</p>  
+<p>
+  If a plugin does not have its own GUI, Ardour will construct a
+  <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 you disable <kbd class="menu">Edit &gt; Preferences &gt; 
+  GUI &gt; Use Plugins' own interface instead of Ardour's</kbd>
+</p>
+<p>
+  You can temporarily switch to the generic UI by context-clicking on 
+  a processor and selecting <kbd
+  class="menu">Edit with generic controls</kbd>. This will be necessary to
+  access the <a href="/automation/">plugin automation controls</a>.
+</p>
+<p>
+  In the generic UI, you can re-set any controller to its default by
+  <kbd class="mod3 mouse">Left</kbd>-clicking on it.
