Why can't I disable Ebosuite devices?

Technical questions and support

Is my only option really to delete Ebosuite devices from my tracks if I want to disable them?

Hi Patgarner, some EboSuite plug-ins can be disabled using the ‘Device Activation’ switch (yellow on/off button in upper left corner), some you can’t disable this way. You can turn off these plug-ins in other ways:

Plug-ins that can be disabled using the Device Activation switch:

  • all eFXs
  • eBlend
  • ePoly
  • eTrackTransform

Plug-ins that can not be disabled using the Device Activation switch, but in another way:

  • eCrossfade (turn A/B mixing on/off in Live)
  • eFeedback (set Amount to 0 to turn off)
  • eISF (use manual slider, track volume or clip start/stop)
  • eLoopStutter (use Stutter on/off button)
  • eSampler (use track volume or MIDI note on/off)
  • eSimpler (use track volume or MIDI note on/off)
  • eSyphonIn (use manual slider or track volume)
  • eText2Syphon (controlled by eSyphonIn)
  • eVideoIn (use manual slider or track volume)

Plug-ins that can not be disabled:

  • eOutput
  • eComper
  • eConvert
  • SyphonOut

Ah, gotcha! Thank you!

The reason behind this has to do with very odd situations that can occur with changing parameters of a disabled device. So we decided do prevent disabling of some devices to work around these quirks (or rather bugs I think) of Max for Live

Btw, for FX you can also group them and disable a whole group.
