Channel Strip Mode Controls
Each channel strip has a set of Channel Strip Mode controls
for displaying and editing pan, plug-in, mic pre, insert, or
send parameters on the encoder section of the D-Control
channel strip.

Page Up and Page Down Switches
Control parameters are arranged on channel strip rotary en-
coders in pages, or groups of up to six parameters at a time.
The Page Up and Page Down switches light to indicate the
presence of additional pages of sends, pan, plug-in, or mic pre
parameters in the corresponding direction on each channel
strip. If no additional pages are available, neither switch is lit.
To move the page display of parameters on the encoders up or
down:
Press a lit Page Up or Page Down switch.
Dynamics and EQ Switches
The Dynamics and EQ switches light to indicate the presence
of the corresponding type of plug-in on a channel strip.
To display a channel strip's first Dynamics or EQ plug-in on the
rotary encoders for editing:
Press a lit Dynamics or EQ switch.
To cycle through all the Dynamics or EQ plug-ins on a channel:
Repeatedly press the corresponding switch.
Input Switch
With Audio and Auxiliary Input tracks, the Input switch is
used to put channels into Inline mode. See "Inline Console
Mode" on page 120.
With Instrument tracks, the Input switch is used to display
that track's MIDI controls on the rotary encoders. See "MIDI
Controls on Instrument Tracks" on page 50.

Mic Pre Switch
When you press the Mic Pre switch, the controls for an avail-
able remote-controlled microphone preamplifier (such as the
Digidesign PRE) are displayed on the channel strip's rotary en-
coders for editing. Microphone preamplifiers are declared in
the Pro Tools peripherals dialog, and assigned to channels in
the Pro Tools I/O Setup dialog.
Inserts Switch
When you press the Inserts switch, the plug-in names on that
channel strip are displayed on the encoder displays.
To view the parameters for an individual plug-in:
Press the Select switch on the corresponding encoder.
To return to the top level display of plug-ins on the channel strip:
Press the Inserts switch again.
The Inserts switch flashes when a plug-in on that channel has
clipped. To clear a clip, press the Clear Clip switch in the Ses-
sion Management section. See "Clear Clip Switch and Plug-in
Clip Indicator" on page 92 for more information.
Pan Switch
When you press the Pan switch, the pan controls for the chan-
nel strip are displayed on the encoder displays. If there are ad-
ditional pages of pan controls for a multichannel track, its
Page Up switch lights.
Bypass/Mute Switch
The function of the Bypass/Mute switch depends on what is
currently displayed on the channel strip's encoders.
Inserts
In the top level Inserts view (when plug-in names are dis-
played on a channel strip's encoders), the Bypass/Mute switch
bypasses all plug-ins on that channel.
When a single plug-in's parameters are displayed on a chan-
nels strip's encoders, the Bypass/Mute switch bypasses that
plug-in only.
Sends
In the top level Sends view (when send names are displayed
on a channel strip's encoders), the Bypass/Mute switch mutes
all sends on that channel.
When a single send's parameters are displayed on a chan-
nels strip's encoders, the Bypass/Mute switch has no effect.
