EQ Displays
The LED displays in the EQ section show the name of the fo-
cused plug-in by default. When any rotary encoder is touched,
these displays show the corresponding parameter name and
value.
Channel Select Switches
Multichannel Plug-ins
When you are working with a multichannel plug-in, all chan-
nels are controlled in tandem and the Channel Select switches
have no effect, except with multichannel plug-ins (such as
Focusrite d2) that directly support channel selection.
Multi-Mono Plug-ins
When you are working with a multi-mono plug-in, the con-
trols for the channels are usually linked and edited together.
However, you can edit plug-in settings for individual channels
of a multi-mono plug-in by unlinking all of the channels, or
by using the Channel Select switches to link specific channels.
There are Channel Select switches for the following channels:
• L (Left)
• Lc (Left Center)
• C (Center)
• Rc (Right Center)
• R (Right)
• Ls (Left Surround)
• Cs (Center Surround)
• Rs (Right Surround)
• LFE
These choices support all possible channel configurations in
Pro Tools. A maximum of eight channels (7.1 surround) may
be in use at any time.

Multichannel Plug-ins
When you are working with a multichannel plug-in, all chan-
nels are controlled in tandem, so the Master Link switch has
no effect, except with multichannel plug-ins (such as
Focusrite d2) that directly support channel linking.
Multi-Mono Plug-ins
When you are working with a multi-mono plug-in, the Master
Link switch toggles the Master Link button in the plug-in win-
dow, which links or unlinks all channels of the plug-in. When
the Master Link button is enabled, the Link switch is lit.
Select/Link/Bypass Mode Switch
The Select/Link/Bypass Mode switch determines the function
of the Channel Select switches with multi-mono plug-ins.
Select Mode In this mode, the Channel Select switches deter-
mine which channel of a multi-mono plug-in is the focus of
the plug-in controls. When a channel is selected, its switch is
lit. If any channels are linked, their switches follow linked be-
havior.
In Select mode, if the D-Control Channel Window Display
preference is set to Yes, the Channel Select switches also
change the channel display in the plug-in window.
Bypass Mode In this mode, the Channel Select switches deter-
mine which channels of a multi-mono plug-in are bypassed.
When a channel is bypassed, its switch is lit. If any channels
are linked, their switches follow linked behavior.
Link Mode In this mode, the Channel Select switches deter-
mine which individual channels of a multi-mono plug-in are
linked together. Linked channels are indicated by switches
that are lit.
