Targeting Plug-In Inserts; Screen Controls And Shortcuts - DigiDesign D-show Manual

Type Text Search
Type Text search lets you use the keyboard for fast navigation
to a channel or snapshot. You can enter the first characters of
a channel name or the absolute channel number to target that
channel on the ACS. (See also "Selecting and Targeting Chan-
nels" on page 36.)
To search for and select a channel by name:
Go to the Inputs, Outputs, or Patchbay page.
1
Type the first few letters, channel number, or full name of
2
the channel. For example, type "s" to go to the first channel
beginning with the letter s (such as Snare).
Press the Tab key to cycle through and select any other
3
channels beginning with that letter (such as Snare Top, Snare
Bottom, or Strings).
Channel Numbers and Names
D-Show channel numbers are "absolute" channel numbers.
Renaming changes the displayed name associated with each
channel, but the absolute channel number remains fixed.
To search for and select a channel by absolute number:
Type a number on the alphanumeric to select the corre-
sponding channel.
Type Text search can also be used to select snapshots in the
Snapshots page. See Chapter 21, "Snapshots."

Targeting Plug-In Inserts

Selecting a single channel targets that channel in the ACS.
This lets you use the ACS and Assignable Output Encoders to
adjust controls in plug-ins inserted on the targeted channel.
To target a channel in the ACS:
Press the channel Select switch.
To adjust a plug-in on the ACS target channel:
Press a Select switch in the Insert Processing section of the
1
ACS.
Press the Insert Mode switch. Plug-In parameters appear on
2
the Assignable Output Encoders.
See Chapter 19, "Plug-Ins."
