Automation Controls; Automatch Switch; Join Switch - DigiDesign D-Command Manual

ApTrgt (Target Track from Application) Determines whether se-
lecting an Insert or Send on-screen focuses its track on the
D-Command Main Unit.
ChanWn (Channel Window Display) Determines whether dis-
playing plug-in or send pan parameters (by pressing an en-
coder Select switch) on D-Command opens the corresponding
plug-in or send window on-screen in Pro Tools. Also deter-
mines whether the Channel Select switches (in the Dynamics
or EQ sections) change the channel display of multi-mono
plug-ins.
When this preference is set to "Yes," the on-screen display
of plug-in and send windows changes to reflect the state of the
control surface.
When this preference is set to "No," the on-screen display of
plug-in and send windows does not change to reflect the state
of the control surface.
