Plugin ACT button in FX chain module

[Jimbobalewski]

I noticed the other day that if a plugin is in an fx chain module the ACT button is missing when the plugin is open, if a plugin is in the fx rack the ACT button is visible. Has it always been this way and I just never noticed or has something gone goofy with my template?

It's always been this way.

You can add your own controls to FX Chains (which in turn control one or more plugin parameters), and these controls can be automated.  There's no ACT button, but there's a Learn button in the context menu which serves the same purpose.

Alternatively, use "Extract FX Chain Plugins" to move the move them out of the FX Chain into the FX Bin.  The ACT button will then return.

Thanks Mark, funny how you can look at something almost everyday and not notice the little things.
