Operation Switch (Page 7)
ChanPI (Channel Strip Editing for Plug-Ins) Toggles the prefer-
ence setting that enables display of plug-in parameters di-
rectly on D-Control channel encoders.
EncVCA (VCA Encoder Display) Determines whether VCA slave
track controls are displayed in the encoders of VCA Master
channels
LrnTch (Learn Touch) Determines whether D-Control encod-
ers and switches are active when a plug-in is in Learn mode.
Lettrs (Show Send/Insert Letters) Determines whether
D-Control displays Send and Insert letters on send and insert
positions with no assignments.
Automation Controls
AutoMatch Switch
The AutoMatch switch activates the AutoMatch command in
Latch or Write automation modes.
Join Switch
The Join switch is used in Latch mode to manually resume
writing of automation on all channels that were previously
writing automation after an interrupted automation pass.
When you stop the transport during an automation pass, the
Join buffer is loaded with the current values of all controls that
were actively writing automation.
When you press the Join switch during playback, writing of
automation begins at the values stored in the Join buffer.
To clear the Join buffer:
Hold Control+Start (Windows) or Command+Control
(Mac) and press the Join switch.
Auto Join Switch
The Auto Join switch is used in Latch mode to automatically
resume writing of automation after the transport is stopped
and started again during an automation pass.
Actions Switch
The Actions switch displays the following commands:
Actions Switch (Page 1)
Prview (Preview) Puts Pro Tools in Preview mode
Punch Prview (Punch Preview) Executes the Punch Preview
command
Prview Suspnd (Preview Suspend) Suspends Preview mode
Captre (Capture) Executes the Capture command
Punch Captre (Punch Capture) Executes the Punch Capture
command
See "Previewing Automation" on page 136 and "Capturing
and Recalling Automation" on page 136 for more information
on these commands.
Actions Switch (Page 2)
Wrt To All (Write to All) Writes current automation values to
an entire selection or track while performing an automation
pass.
Snap Back Causes all Latch or Write enabled tracks to exit
their current automation pass and return instantly to the pre-
viously written automation levels. During playback, this com-
mand stops writing of automation without applying any Au-
toMatch ramping.
Wrt To Start (Write To Start) Writes current automation val-
ues from the insertion point backward to the beginning of a
selection or track while performing an automation pass.
Wrt To End (Write to End) Writes current automation values
from the insertion point forward to the end of a selection or
track while performing an automation pass.
Wrt To Punch (Write To Punch Point) Writes current automa-
tion values back to the point where writing of automation be-
gan
Wrt To Next (Write to Next Breakpoint) Writes current auto-
mation values from the insertion point forward to the next
automation breakpoint while performing an automation pass.
Actions Switch (Page 3)
Wrt To Currnt (Write To Current Parameter) Writes the current
control value to the currently displayed automation parame-
ter (Edit > Automation > Write To Current).
Wrt To All Ena (Write To All Enabled Parameters) Writes cur-
rent control values to all enabled automation parameters (Edit
> Automation > Write To All Enabled).
Trm To Currnt (Trim To Current Parameter) Applies the current
trim value to the currently displayed automation parameter
(Edit > Automation > Trim To Current).
Trm To AllEna (Trim To All Enabled Parameters) Applies cur-
rent trim values to all enabled automation parameters (Edit >
Automation > Trim To All Enabled).
Gld To Currnt (Glide To Current Parameter) Applies a transition
between automation values to the currently displayed auto-
mation parameter (Edit > Automation > Glide To Current).
Gld To AllEna (Glide To All Enabled Parameters) Applies a tran-
sition between automation values to all enabled automation
parameters (Edit > Automation > Glide To All Enabled).
