Global Controls Section

The Global Controls section (Figure 2) is a set of channel-re-
lated controls in the center of the D-Command Main Unit.

Flip Switches

The two yellow Flip switches in the Global Controls section
correspond to the two rotary encoders on the D-Command
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
Flip
switches
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 lights for the affected row of en-
coders, and the yellow Flip LED below each affected encoder is
lit.

Instrument Tracks and Flip Mode

When MIDI controls for Instrument tracks are displayed on
the encoders, they can be transferred (or "flipped") to the
channel faders, allowing control of MIDI Volume or MIDI Pan
from the channel faders.
In Flip mode, Instrument track controls are transferred as fol-
lows:

and the B/M/P switch on the encoder controls channel

Press the Flip switch that corresponds to the encoder row.

When D-Command 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.
