Pro Tools lets you customize the arrangement of plug-in parameter controls on supported control surfaces. You can save these customized plug-in maps as presets and export them for use across different sessions and systems.
Plug-Ins can be put into Learn mode, from which any automatable plug-in parameter can be mapped to a channel strip encoder, switch, or (in Flip mode) fader on the control surface.
A map for a plug-in can be saved and recalled for any plug-in of the same type.
You can save multiple map presets for a single plug-in, and switch between maps at any time during a session.
You can also use multiple map presets on different instances of a plug-in at the same time. This is useful for virtual instrument plug-ins with multiple configurations, or for multi-user workflows on large systems.
You can set a custom plug-in map to be the default map for a plug-in, so that the same map is used for all default instances of that plug-in.
Plug-In maps can be exported (as .pim files) for use in other sessions and on other systems with a similar type of control surface (8-fader surface, 24-fader surface, or ICON surface).
When you create a custom plug-in map, its parameters are arranged in pages that correspond to the controls on the control surface. The size of a page depends on the type of control surface. Each custom plug-in map allows up to 200 pages of mapped parameters.
Plug-In mapping is stored according to the following types of control surfaces:
The following have a page size of 8 mappable encoders/switches:
