Copying And Pasting Plug-In Settings; Enabling Plug-In Automation - DigiDesign D-Control Manual

Copying and Pasting Plug-in Settings

You can copy plug-in settings from a plug-in and paste them
into another instance of the same plug-in directly from a
channel strip on D-Control, from either the top-level view or
the focused view of the plug-in.
To copy and paste plug-in settings from the top level plug-in view:
On channel strips where you want to copy and paste the
1
plug-in settings, press the Inserts switches to display the
names of the plug-ins on the channel encoders.
Copy the settings of a plug-in by holding Shift+Control
2
(Windows) or Shift+Command (Mac) and pressing the en-
coder Select switch under the name of the plug-in.
Paste the settings into another instance of the same plug-in
3
by holding Shift+Control (Windows) or Shift+Command
(Mac) and pressing the B/M/P switch under the name of that
plug-in.
You can use the Do To All and Do To Selected switches
to copy and paste settings to all plug-ins at the same in-
sert position on all or all selected tracks.
To copy and paste settings from the focused plug-in view:
On channel strips where you want to copy and paste the
1
plug-in settings, focus the plug-ins on the channels so their
controls are visible on the channel strip encoders.
Copy the settings of a plug-in by holding Shift+Control
2
(Windows) or Shift+Command (Mac) and pressing the en-
coder Select switch under the bottom row of encoders of the
plug-in's channel.
Paste the settings into another instance of the same plug-in
3
by holding Shift+Control (Windows) or Shift+Command
(Mac) and pressing the B/M/P switches under the bottom row
of encoders for that plug-in.

Enabling Plug-in Automation

When plug-in names are displayed in top-level view on a
D-Control channel strip, you can quickly enable all parame-
ters of a plug-in for automation.
You can also use the Do To All or Do To Selected switches on
D-Control to automate multiple plug-ins in the same insert
position in a session.
