I/O Assign Matrix - DigiDesign D-Control Manual

I/O Assign Matrix

The I/O Assign Matrix lets you display, assign, change, and re-
move I/O assignments on different types of tracks, as follows:
• Audio tracks and Auxiliary Input tracks: audio input and
output paths
• MIDI tracks: MIDI input and output channels
• Instrument tracks: MIDI input and output channels, audio
input and output paths
• VCA Master tracks: Group assignments
• Master Faders: output paths
Displaying I/O Paths
To display an I/O path in the Assign Matrix:
Press and hold the Sends switch on the channel whose I/O
1
routing you want to display.
Press the encoder Select switch for the Input or Output you
2
want to display.
The Assign Matrix opens, showing input and output path
names in the upper encoders (in yellow) and the track name
in the bottom encoder (in green) in the Menu Area. The en-
coder Select switch lights for the path that is currently dis-
played in the Select Area.
To page through options in the Assign Matrix Select area:
Press the Select switch (marked "<") or BMP switch (marked
">") on the encoder labeled "PG" in the Assign Matrix Navi-
gation area. To page continuously, press and hold the
switches.
To scroll through options in the Assign Matrix Select area:
Turn the encoder knob labeled "PG" in the Assign Matrix
Navigation area.
To move down through I/O menu levels (for audio paths):
Press the encoder Select switch for Interface ("intrfc") or Bus
("bus") in the Assign Matrix Select area.
To move up to the top I/O menu level (for audio paths), do one of
the following:
In the Assign Matrix Navigation area, press the bottom en-
coder Select switch (labeled "Back").
– or –
In the Assign Matrix Navigation area, press the encoder Se-
lect switch for Interface ("intrfc") or Bus ("bus") on the top en-
coder.
146 D-Control Guide
To momentarily display the full name of a menu item or I/O path
in the encoder displays:
Touch the encoder knob for the item.
To open/close a track Output window (for audio paths):
Hold Start (Windows) or Control (Mac) and press the en-
coder Select switch for the Output in the Assign Matrix Menu
area.
Changing i/O Display for a Track in the Assign
Matrix
To display a different I/O path in the Assign Matrix:
In the Assign Matrix Menu Area, press the B/M/P switch for
1
any path. The I/O paths are displayed in the Assign Matrix Se-
lect area.
Press the encoder Select switch for the I/O path you want to
2
display.
Changing Track Display in the Assign Matrix
To display I/O paths for a different track in the Assign Matrix by
scrolling through track names:
In the Assign Matrix Menu Area, press the bottom encoder
1
(track name) Select switch.
Turn the bottom encoder to scroll through the tracks in the
2
session.
Press the flashing Select switch to display the I/O paths for
3
that track in the Assign Matrix.
To display I/O paths for a different track in the Assign Matrix by
displaying track names:
In the Assign Matrix Menu Area, press the bottom encoder
1
(track name) B/M/P switch. The track names are displayed in
the Assign Matrix Select area.
If necessary, use the "PG" encoder or switches in the Assign
2
Matrix Navigation area to locate the track you want to display.
Press the encoder Select switch for the track you want to dis-
3
play.
