Sends Switch
When you press the Sends switch on a channel strip, sends are
show in two groups of five (Sends A–E or Sends F–J) on the en-
coder displays. The rotary encoders control Send level.
To toggle display of Sends A–E and F–J on a channel strip:
Press the Sends switch in the Channel Strip Mode controls
1
section of the channel strip to show the top level Send display.
Press the Page Up and Page Down switches to toggle the top
2
level Send display between the two sets of five sends (A–E and
F–J).
Send Pan Mode
Send Pan mode allows you to adjust send panning and level at
the same time. Send Level is controlled by the channel fader
and Send Pan is controlled by the encoder.
To enter Send Pan mode:
Press the Sends switch to display sends on the channel's en-
1
coders.
Press the encoder Select switch that corresponds to the send
2
you want to display. The channel's Send and Pan switches
light to indicate that it is in Send/Pan mode.
To return to the top level display of sends on the channel strip:
Press the Sends switch again.
The Sends switch flashes when a send on that channel has
clipped. To clear a clip, press the Clear Clip button in the Ses-
sion Management section. See "Clear Clip Switch and Plug-in
Clip Indicator" on page 92 for more information.
MIDI Controls on Instrument Tracks
The Instruments View in Pro Tools contains MIDI controls
that can be displayed on the bottom encoder of D-Control
channel strips.
To display MIDI volume and mute controls on an Instrument
track:
Press the Input switch in the Channel Strip Mode controls
section of the Instrument channel strip.
The MIDI controls appear on the bottom encoder (Encoder 6)
as follows:
• Encoder knob: MIDI Volume
• B/M/P switch: MIDI Mute
• Encoder LED ring: MIDI Velocity Meter
50 D-Control Guide
To display MIDI pan controls:
Hold the Input switch and press the Pan switch in the
Channel Strip Mode controls section of the channel strip.
The bottom encoder (Encoder 6) knob controls MIDI Pan.
To exit display of MIDI controls:
Press another switch in the Channel Strip Mode section.
Instrument Tracks and Flip Mode
When MIDI controls for Instrument tracks are displayed on
the bottom row of encoders, they can be transferred (or
"flipped") to the channel faders, allowing control of MIDI
Volume or MIDI Pan from the channel faders.
To transfer controls from the bottom row of rotary encoders to
the channel faders:
Press the Flip switch that corresponds to the bottom row of
encoders (Encoder 6).
In Flip mode, Instrument track controls are transferred as fol-
lows:
• The fader on each channel controls the parameter (MIDI
Volume or MIDI Pan) that was assigned to the bottom en-
coder, and the bottom encoder controls track Volume.
• The channel Mute switch controls the MIDI Mute function,
and the B/M/P switch on the bottom encoder controls
channel mute.
To exit Flip mode:
Press a lighted Flip switch.
Channel Strip Function Controls
Each channel strip has a set of Channel Strip Function con-
trols for controlling channel selection and focus, mute, solo,
and record enable status, input monitor mode, and automa-
tion mode.
