Chapter 5 - DAW Control
The V Pot Menu
The first six keys, Pan and Send A – E, determine whether the V-Pots are controlling the pan function or a Send level. The scribble
strip label above the V-Pot will display the selected function. If Pan is enabled, a second operation will assign the right channel
pan pot of any stereo tracks controlled from the Matrix channel strips to the V-Pot. This is indicated by P P A A N N R R being displayed
in the lower scribble strip row above the V-Pots.
Mute and Assign are used when a Send is assigned to the V-Pots. Mute flips the V-Sel switch from controlling the Pre/Post source
for the Send to controlling the Send mute function. Assign initiates Send routing. When active, the V-Pot will scroll through a
list of the available Pro Tools I/O and busses. These labels replace the track name in the upper row of the scribble strip. Routes
are made via the V-Sel switch.
Further information will found in the Pro Tools MIDI Control Surfaces guide which can be down loaded from the Digidesign
website.
The AutoEn Menu
These switches globally enable automation for the fader (Fader), mute (Mute), pan send (Pan), send mute (SMute) and plug-in
(Plugin). These correspond to the same Automation Enable functions that can be viewed in Pro Tools Automation Enable
Window.
The I/O Menu
Assign in conjunction with Input or Output uses the V-Pots to control track input and output routing. When Assign is active,
the current track input or output label replaces the track label in the upper scribble strip, depending on whether Input or Output
is selected. The V-Pots will scroll through all available sources or destinations and a new route can be confirmed via the V-Sel
switch.
