Flip Switches
The two yellow Flip switches in the Global Controls section
correspond to the two rotary encoders on the D-Command
channel strips.
Flip Mode
The Flip switches invoke Flip mode, which transfers controls
from the corresponding rotary encoder to the fader on each
channel strip, allowing convenient editing and automation of
send, pan, plug-in, and mic pre parameters directly from the
channel faders.
In Flip mode, the rotary encoder control swaps with the chan-
nel fader; the encoder Select switch swaps with the channel
Select switch; the encoder Bypass/Mute/Pre switch swaps with
the channel Mute switch; and the encoder display swaps with
the channel display.
In Flip mode, the Flip switch lights for the affected row of en-
coders, and the yellow Flip LED below each affected encoder is
lit.
To transfer controls from a row of rotary encoders to the channel
faders:
Press the Flip switch that corresponds to the encoder row.
■
To exit Flip mode:
Press a lighted Flip switch.
■
When D-Command is in Flip mode and you enter Make
Inactive mode or Assign mode, it is temporarily taken out
of Flip mode, but the Flip switch remains lit. When you
exit Make Inactive mode or Assign mode, controls return
to their flipped positions.
Automation Write Controls
The Automation Write controls invoke the manual "Write to
Start/End/All" commands, the automatic "Write to
Start/End/All on Stop" automation commands, and the
"Write to Current Parameter" and "Write to All Enabled Pa-
rameters" snapshot automation commands in Pro Tools.
