Instance list suggestion: global Clean/subtle/warm toggle
Would it be possible to add a button to globaly toggle the algorithms for all instances of Pro Q 4 in the instance list? It's the kind of thing where a lot of very subtle differences, becomes a very big difference when added up.
It would be nice if could flip the algorithm for every EQ with a single button, just to hear how it would stack up!

It's not possible to change the Character mode of all plug-ins in your session globally. We could have included a button that would simply toggle on or off Character mode for all plug-ins, but it could not identify which plug-ins already had Character mode enabled and which did not. This could mean disabling character mode on plug-ins that had it enabled before.
Say you're working on a track, and all the drums have Character mode set to Warm. Now you want to check if the rest of the tracks will also benefit from Character mode. You globally set all plug-ins to Subtle, then to Warm, and decide it works best if only the drums are in Character mode. Globally switching it off would mean the drums will also be set to off.
We simply could not make a feature that would globally adjust this while remembering which instance was using what setting before. So for now you simply need to adjust character mode individually per plug-in.
Hope that clears it up. If you have any more questions please let me know.
