# Control Effects

Control effects are special utility effects that don't process audio directly but instead control how other effects operate. They help organize and manage complex effect chains.

## Section

The Section effect groups multiple effects so you can bypass or restore that whole part of the chain with one ON/OFF toggle. Each effect keeps its own ON/OFF setting.

### Overview

- **Name**: Section
- **Category**: Control
- **Description**: Groups effects so a whole section can be bypassed or restored

### Parameters

| Parameter | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| Comment   | A name or description of the section's purpose |

### Usage

1. Place the Section effect at the beginning of a group of effects you want to control together
2. Enter a descriptive name in the "Comment" field to identify the section's purpose
3. Toggle the Section effect OFF to bypass the effects in that section; toggle it ON to restore the section, while preserving each effect's own ON/OFF state
4. Effects placed after a Section effect will be controlled by that section until another Section effect is encountered

### Application Examples

- Group related effects (e.g., "EQ Adjustments", "Spatial Effects")
- Create alternative processing chains that can be easily toggled
- Organize complex effect chains into logical sections
- Temporarily disable a group of effects without removing them
