Color Indication of Automation Mode for Plug-In Parameters
In the Plug-In window, the controls for plug-in parameters highlight in different colors to indicate whether or not a control is automated in what automation mode. The color also is different depending on whether or not a parameter is being controlled by a control surface (such as D‑Command or Command|8).
The following table shows the color coding for automated plug-in parameters, with and without a control surface.
