Chapter 12. Assigning Inserts, Sends And I/O With The Assign Matrix - DigiDesign D-Control Manual

Chapter 12: Assigning Inserts, Sends and I/O with
the Assign Matrix
D-Control provides a means of quickly assigning inserts,
sends, and I/O routing to tracks in a session. Instead of making
assignments by drilling down multiple levels on a single en-
coder, the Assign Matrix feature temporarily uses a 6 x 8 sec-
tion of encoders to show multiple layers of navigation at one
time.
Enabling Assign Matrix Operation
The Assign Matrix Enable ("AsnMtx") console preference de-
termines whether standard Assign mode behavior (which uses
a single encoder for assignments) or the Assign Matrix is used
for assigning Inserts, Sends, or I/O routing on the control sur-
face.
When this preference is enabled, the Assign Matrix is used
for making assignments.
When the preference is not enabled, standard Global and
local Assign modes are used for making assignments.
To toggle Assign Matrix operation on and off:
In the Soft Keys section, press the Operation switch repeat-
1
edly to display the page that includes the Assign Matrix pref-
erence ("AsnMtx").
Press the Soft Key that corresponds to "AsnMtx" to toggle
2
the setting between "On" and "Off."
Hold Control (Windows) or Command (Mac) and press the
3
Operation switch to exit.
Assign Matrix Preferences
The following settings and preferences affect the appearance
and operation of the D-Control Assign Matrix.
Assign Matrix Select Area Justification
The Assign Matrix Select Area Justification preference deter-
mines whether the items in the Assign Matrix Select area are
displayed in order from top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top on
D-Control rotary encoders.
This preference does not affect the display order of items in
the Menu area. (Display of Inserts and Sends in the Menu area
follow the Encoder Order preference.)
To set the Assign Matrix Select area justification:
In the Soft Keys section, press the Operations switch repeat-
1
edly to display the page that includes Matrix Select Area Justi-
fication ("MtxJst").
Press the Soft Key that corresponds to "MtxJst" to choose be-
2
tween "Bot-Tp" (bottom-to-top ordering) and "Tp-Bot"
(top-to-bottom ordering).
Hold Control (Windows) or Command (Mac) and press the
3
Operations switch to exit.
