Custom Groups Mode
Custom Groups mode lets you create a custom collection of
tracks and arrange them in any order in either of the two
available banks of Custom Fader channels. You can create up
to 48 independent Custom Groups in a session.
Custom Groups are useful for temporarily associating tracks
that are not part of a Pro Tools Mix/Edit group. Also, because
you can add multiple instances of the same track to a Custom
Group, you can use this mode, in conjunction with Flip mode
or Map mode, to map multiple parameters from a single track
onto adjacent channel faders.
Custom Groups are created and recalled entirely on D-Con-
trol, and are independent of Mix/Edit groups in Pro Tools.
D-Control Custom Groups are not reflected on-screen in
Pro Tools. Custom Groups are saved in the Pro Tools session
file, and move with the session to any other system that sup-
ports D-Control operation.
Displaying Custom Groups
Custom Groups are accessible in the Bank Select Matrix in
four pages of 12 (1–12, 13–24, 25–36, and 37–48).
Custom Groups can also be displayed and recalled from the
Soft Keys section (in pages of six) by repeatedly pressing the
Bank Select switch in the Soft Keys section.
