The Loaded Plugins Window
This list (Shift+V) has all loaded VST and DirectX plugins. It provides a convenient way to unload,mute or bypass them without opening the VST editor. It also allows for programs or states to be saved or loaded. For more, see VSTs .

In addition, if there is a VST that has an automation curve, it is also shown in the editor and can be manipulated. See automation curves.
