yes. When you want to insert a plugin, you select your track, hit the PLUG-IN button. The display will show the 8 insert selections as 'Ins1P1, Ins2P1, etc. At this point (I like to use the FLIP mode so the fader controls instead of the rotary pot) you move your pot/fader and random plugins will display. Once you find the plugin you want, tap the encoder and the plugin is inserted and all the parameters are displayed across the scribble strips.
For example, doing that process, the 1st plugin choice to show up is a Legacy AUParametric EQ. as you turn the knob or fader the choices continue to be random.
I do not use sends on fader although it is a nice feature to find which AUX is associated with what send. You can use the key command and the learn function to program one of the F keys 'F1, F2. etc' to call up the 'sends on Fader.' It works great.
