Plugin rack bypass switch/logic

[DavidPardy]

Hey guys I've been playing around with plugin racks a lot lately, mostly in trying to simplify my MIDI and/or live guitar rigs (SFZ -> Preamp -> Poweramp -> IR Loader -> Main Volume)

I can add effects in the mix obviously, parallel effects, etc., but this is the basic initial setup.

I'm wondering if there is anything implemented along the lines of bypass controllers? E.g., if Parameter A = On, use outputs 1 & 2, if A = Off, use outputs 3 & 4.

Obviously you can create different tracks with different FX chains but I'm just curious if this is a possibility at all?

I dunno if my explanation is particularly clear so here is an image showing what I mean:


So basically, if the Bypass switch is on, instead of outputing to the blue outputs, it sends the signal to the magenta outputs.

first idea:
add a volume module after fx chain 1 as well as fx chain 2. create a macro with different polarities to control the volume 1 & 2.

Thanks for the tip, I might look into it gotta get my head around macros first haha haven't really felt a need to learn them up to this point
