TC2290 User Manual
4.6 Primary and Secondary Controls
After you have installed the plug-in and activated the iLok license or connected
the TC2290 via USB, you can begin adding the effect to your tracks.
The plug-in is divided into two sections, which are both visible when the "I+II"
button at the top left is selected. The left section is identical to the hardware unit
and could be considered Primary parameters. These include common items such
as delay time and feedback.
The right side contains the Secondary parameters. The secondary parameters
are the ones that were known as "SPEC KEYS" (Special Keys) on the original 2290.
These parameters can be called from the hardware unit using the SPEC KEYS.
To reduce plug-in size on your screen you can select "I" or "II" in the top left of
the plug-in. "I" will show the left section of the plug-in only and "II" will show
the right section. Setting "II" can be a complementary setting when using the
hardware unit.
4.7 Connection Status to the Hardware Unit
The TC Icon family all use the same method to show the connection status
between the plug-in and the hardware unit.
Connection status is indicated on the lower left side of the plug-in window.
Successful connection is indicated with a green chain icon. When using the
NATIVE version only, this chain icon will remain grey.
There are 3 conditions that will result in a "Not connected" status. If another
instance of the plug-in already exists on another track, the chain icon will appear
yellow with a yellow frame, and the text box will notify you where the plug-in is
currently active. Click the chain icon to connect the hardware unit to the new
plug-in location. The yellow icon may also appear while the connection is being
made between the TC2290 unit and the plug-in, accompanied by
"Connecting..." text.
If the hardware unit is disconnected from the computer, but the countdown
has not yet expired, a yellow chain icon without the yellow frame will appear.
See "Travel Period and Module Connection" section for details.
All other "Not connected" states are indicated by a red chain icon. This could
happen if the USB cable is disconnected, the TC2290 connection is disrupted,
or other issues.
To summarize the connection status possibilities:
Most DAWs offer the ability to move or drag plug-ins from one track/bus to
another, and TC2290 supports this as well.
Most DAWs also feature an on/off switch for plug-ins, accessible inside the
plug-in window and/or the track itself. Muting the plug-in will make the effect
inaudible, but will not shut down the connection to use the hardware unit.
