Custom Fader Flip Mode - DigiDesign D-Control Manual

To display the parameter controlled by the B/M/P switches:
Press the Switch Info switch.
In some cases, the same control may be mapped to both
an encoder knob and its corresponding switch, allowing
you to use either control to adjust the parameter.
Plug-in meters map to the Custom Fader channel meters.
Plug-in input and output meters appear as standard level
meters with green, yellow, and red segments. Any dynamics
gain reduction meters (for example, in a compressor or limiter
plug-in) are shown as top-to-bottom meters with yellow seg-
ments.
Expanded Plug-In View
In Custom Fader Plug-In mode, Expanded Plug-In view lets
you access additional plug-in controls and manage individual
channels (also called streams) of a multi-mono plug-in. This
mode places the following standard header controls in the
channel displays:
• Plug-In Bypass
• Plug-In Compare
• Plug-In Automation Safe
• Plug-In Automation Enable
If the Custom Fader Plug-In Mode View Definition is set
to Expanded view, then you are automatically in Ex-
panded Plug-In View when you enter Plug-In mode.
To enter Expanded Plug-In view:
Press and hold the Plug-In switch in the Custom Fader sec-
tion until the switch flashes.
The plug-in header controls are mapped as follows:
Plug-In Bypass To bypass the currently displayed plug-in, press
the Mute switch that corresponds to "Bypass" in the channel
displays. This toggles the Effect Bypass button in the Plug-In
window.
Plug-In Compare To toggle between the original saved plug-in
setting and any changes you have made to it, press the Mute
switch that corresponds to "Comp" in the channel displays.
This toggles the Compare button in the Plug-In window.
Plug-In Automation Safe To prevent existing plug-in automa-
tion from being overwritten, press the Mute switch that corre-
sponds to "Safe" in the channel displays. This toggles the Safe
button in the Plug-In window.
Plug-In Automation Enable To enable individual plug-in con-
trols for automation, press the Mute switch that corresponds
to "AutoEn" in the channel displays. This lists the automat-
able plug-in controls on the Custom Fader encoders. Choose
the controls to automate by pressing their encoder Select
switches. This toggles the Auto button in the Plug-In window.

Multi-Mono Plug-Ins and Expanded Plug-In Mode
With multi-mono plug-ins, the following plug-in channel
controls are also mapped to the Custom Fader channel dis-
plays:
Link To link channels of a multi-mono plug-in, press the Mute
switch that corresponds to "Link" in the channel displays.
This toggles the Master Link button in the Plug-In window
Target Stream To target a particular multi-mono plug-in chan-
nel for editing, press the Mute switch that corresponds to
"TargtS" in the channel displays. This lists the channels of the
plug-in on the Channel Fader encoders. You can then choose
a channel by pressing its encoder Select switch. The switch
lights to indicate the targeted channel.
Group Stream To group individual multi-mono plug-in chan-
nels for editing, press the Mute switch that corresponds to
"GroupS" in the channel displays. This lists the channels of
the plug-in on the Channel Fader encoders. You can then
group any number of streams by pressing their encoder Select
switches. The Select switches light to indicate grouped chan-
nels.
Bypass Stream To bypass individual multi-mono plug-in
streams, press the Mute switch that corresponds to "BypS" in
the channel displays. This lists the channels of the plug-in on
the Channel Fader encoders. You can then bypass a stream by
pressing its encoder B/M/P switch. The B/M/P switch lights to
indicate the bypassed stream.
To exit Expanded Plug-In mode:
Press the flashing Plug-In switch.

Custom Fader Flip Mode

When in any of the Custom Fader modes, you can flip Custom
Fader encoder rows to the faders with Custom Fader Flip
mode. The single Custom Fader Flip switch is used to cycle the
encoder rows through the faders. The Custom Fader Flip
switch only affects Custom Fader channels, and has no effect
on channels in Normal mode.
In Custom Fader Flip mode, the Custom Fader Flip switch is
lit, and the affected encoder displays appear in yellow.
To enter Custom Fader Flip mode:
From any of the Custom Fader modes, press the Custom
1
Fader Flip switch. The top row of encoders transfers to the fad-
ers.
To flip successive rows, repeatedly press the Custom Fader
2
switch.
