To transfer controls from any of the top five rows of encoders to
the bottom row of encoders:
Hold the Start key (Windows) or Control key (Mac) and
press the Flip switch that corresponds to the encoder row.
To exit Flop mode:
Press either of the lighted Flip switches.
When D-Control is in Make Inactive mode or Assign mode,
it is temporarily taken out of Flop mode, but the Flip
switches remains lit. When you exit Make Inactive mode or
Assign mode, controls return to their flopped positions.
Make Inactive Controls
The Make Inactive controls are used to make tracks, inputs,
outputs, sends, or plug-ins inactive. Each switch puts D-Con-
trol into a temporary Make Inactive mode in which elements
are made inactive or reactivated. The switch flashes while
Make Inactive mode is in effect.

Outputs Inactive Switch
The Outputs switch invokes Outputs inactive mode and dis-
plays the main channel outputs in the bottom row of encod-
ers. The Bypass/Mute/Pre switch on the bottom encoder tog-
gles the output inactive and active.
Sends Inactive Switch
The Sends switch invokes Sends Inactive mode and displays
the channel's sends on its encoders. The Bypass/Mute/Pre
switch on each encoder toggles the corresponding send inac-
tive and active.
Plug-ins Inactive Switch
The Plug-ins switch invokes Plug-ins Inactive mode and dis-
plays a channel's inserts on its encoders. The Bypass/Mute/Pre
switch on each encoder toggles the corresponding insert inac-
tive and active.
To toggle an input, output, send, or plug-in active/inactive:
Make sure the channel is showing the top-level view for the

element you want to make active/inactive.
Press a Make Inactive switch to enter the appropriate Make
