Console Preferences
User Switch
The User switch lets you assemble a custom set of up to 12 Soft
Key operations (six on each of two pages), providing quick ac-
cess to frequently used commands or modes. You can add op-
erations to either of the two available pages.
To add a Soft Key operation to the User Soft Key set:
In the Soft Keys section, press the User switch repeatedly to
1
display the page (Page 1 or Page 2) where you want to add the
operation.
Press the Soft Keys to display the page containing the oper-
2
ation you want to add.
Hold Control (Windows) or Command (Mac) and press the
3
Soft Key for the operation.
The operation is appended to the list of User Soft Key opera-
tions on the chosen User page.
To remove a Soft Key operation from the User set:
In the Soft Keys section, press the User switch repeatedly to
1
display the operation you want to remove.
Hold Control (Windows) or Command (Mac) and press the
2
Soft Key for the User operation.
Meter Switch
Meter Switch (Page 1)
The Meter switch displays the D-Control metering prefer-
ences, in pages of six. The Soft Key display is paged by repeat-
edly pressing the Meter Prefs switch in the Soft Keys section.
The Meter switch control D-Control meters only, and do not
affect the Pro Tools on-screen display.
SndMtr (Send Meters) Toggles send metering on channel ro-
tary encoders on and off.
InsMtr (Insert Meters) Toggles plug-in metering on channel
rotary encoders on and off.
Meters Toggles channel metering between pre- and post-fader
modes.
CtrMtr (Center Meters) Toggles the 8-channel meter display
on the Main Unit meter bridge between main output levels
and the focused track.
GrChan (Gain Reduction Channel Display) Sets channel meters
to display dynamics plug-in gain reduction when the plug-in
is focused on a channel strip.
RefLvl (Reference Level) Lets you change the D-Control meter
display to help monitor program material with respect to dif-
ferent reference levels.

GRPrio (Gain Reduction Priority) When a multi-function Com-
pressor/Limiter or Expander/Gate plug-in is used, this prefer-
ence determines which function ("CompLm" or "ExpGat")
has metering priority when encoder LED rings and channel
meters are set to display dynamics plug-in gain reduction.
Operation Switch
The Operation switch controls behaviors that are specific to
D-Control, and that do not affect the Pro Tools on-screen dis-
play. For details on setting operation preferences, see "Setting
D-Control Preferences" on page 40.
Operation Switch (Page 1)
BnkJus (Bank Justification) Determines whether banks of
channels in Normal mode are justified at the left, left center
(to the left of the Main Unit), right center, (to the right of the
Main Unit) or right side of the control surface.
Rotary (Rotary Encoder Mode) Determines responsiveness of
rotary encoder knobs. Fixed mode is at normal resolution. The
velocity modes set different rates of encoder acceleration. In
Fine mode, response is fixed and at fine resolution.
LCFJst (Left Custom Fader Justification) Determines whether
the Custom Faders controlled by the left Custom Faders sec-
tion are placed at the left, left center, right center, or right of
the Main Unit.
RCFJst (Right Custom Fader Justification) Determines
whether the Custom Faders controlled by the right Custom
Faders section are placed at the left, left center, right center, or
right of the Main Unit.
LMaxCF (Left Maximum Custom Fader Bank Size) Determines
the number of channels to be used when displaying channels
in the Left Custom Fader Bank. Options are multiples of 8
channels, from zero (no Left Custom Fader Bank) up to the
maximum number of channels on the system.
RMaxCF (Right Maximum Custom Fader Bank Size) Deter-
mines the number of channels to be used when displaying
channels in the Right Custom Fader Bank. Options are multi-
ples of 8 channels, from zero (no Right Custom Fader Bank)
up to the maximum number of channels on the system.
