Channel Strip Master Section - DigiDesign D-Control Manual

Channel Strip Master Section

The Channel Strip Master section (Figure 2) is a set of chan-
nel-related controls that appears on both the left and right
sides of the D-Control Main Unit, allowing easy access to
these controls from any mixing position. The operation of
each control in this section is mirrored on both sets of con-
trols at all times.
Flip Switches
The six yellow Flip switches in the Channel Strip Master sec-
tion correspond to the six horizontal rows of rotary encoders
on the D-Control channel strips.
Flip Mode
The Flip switches invoke Flip mode, which transfers controls
from the corresponding rotary encoder to the fader on each
channel strip, allowing convenient editing and automation of
send, pan, plug-in, and mic pre parameters directly from the
channel faders.
In Flip mode, the rotary encoder control swaps with the chan-
nel fader; the encoder Select switch swaps with the channel
Select switch; the encoder Bypass/Mute/Pre switch swaps with
the channel Mute switch; and the encoder display swaps with
the channel display.
In Flip mode, the Flip switch for the affected row of encoders
is lit, and the affected encoder displays appear in yellow.
To transfer controls from a row of rotary encoders to the channel
faders:
Press the Flip switch that corresponds to the encoder row.
To exit Flip mode:
Press a lighted Flip switch.
When D-Control is in Flip mode and you enter Make
Inactive mode or Assign mode, it is temporarily taken
out of Flip mode, but the Flip switch remains lit.
When you exit Make Inactive mode or Assign mode,
controls return to their flipped positions.
Flop Mode
A variation of Flip mode, Flop mode transfers controls from
any of the top five rows of rotary encoders to the bottom row
of rotary encoders, allowing you to bring any encoder control
within easy reach from the mix position.
In Flop mode, the affected row of encoders moves to the bot-
tom row of encoders, the Flip switches for both affected rows
are lit, and the encoder displays for both rows appear in yel-
low.
