Insert Assign Matrix - DigiDesign D-Control Manual

Assign Matrix Multi-Assign Mode

can set the Assign Matrix to allow multiple output assign-
ments.

switch labeled "+" (below the "Lock" encoder") to latch out-
put assignments.

Insert Assign Matrix

The Insert Assign Matrix lets you display, assign, change, and
remove inserts from a session. The Insert Assign Matrix shows
insert positions (A-J), Insert type (such as TDM, RTAS, HW In-
sert), plug-in categories (such as EQ or DYN), plug-in manu-
facturer, and insert or plug-in names in the Assign Matrix Se-
lect area.

5 encoders (in yellow) and the track name in the bottom en-
coder (in green) in the Menu Area. The encoder Select switch
lights for the Insert position that is currently displayed in the
Select Area.
If no insert is present at the Insert position, the Select Area

TDM, RTAS, and HW Insert) along with any default or favor-
ites plug-ins on the top level.
