Switch Mode Switch
The Switch Mode switch toggles the function of encoder By-
pass/Mute/Pre switches between Mute and Pre-Fader func-
tions when displaying sends on the encoders.
• When the Switch Mode is set to Bypass, the encoder B/M/P
switch mutes the corresponding send.
• When the Switch Mode is set to Pre, the encoder B/M/P
switch toggles the corresponding send between pre- or
post-fader operation.
The Transport must be stopped to toggle sends between
pre- and post-fader operation.
To set the Switch Mode:
Press the Switch mode switch until the appropriate indica-
■
tor lights (Mute or Pre).
Switch Info Switch
The Switch Info switch can follow toggling or momentary be-
havior. If pressed briefly, it toggles the encoder display to
show the function assigned to the Bypass/Mute/Pre switch on
each rotary encoder. If held, the function is shown until the
switch is released.
Show Values Switch
The Show Values switch can follow toggling or momentary
behavior. If pressed briefly, it toggles the encoder display be-
tween parameter name and parameter value. If held, parame-
ter value is shown until the switch is released.
The operation of the Show Values switch is not affected by
the Touch Display of Parameter Values setting in the Oper-
ations Soft Key Section.

Escape Switch
The Escape switch is used to exit modes and to cancel opera-
tions or on-screen dialogs. When an action has occurred that
can be exited or canceled with the Escape switch, the switch
flashes.
Select/Focus Mode Switch and Indicators
The Select/Focus Mode switch toggles the function of channel
Select switches between Select and Focus mode. In Select
mode, channel Select switches are used to select channels in
Pro Tools. In Focus mode, channel Select switches are used to
focus a channel in the Focus Channel section on the Main
Unit.
The LEDs on either side of this switch indicate the current
mode.
Do To All and Do To Selected Switches
The Do To All and the Do To Selected switches on D-Com-
mand can be used in two different ways: to apply actions to
multiple tracks in a Pro Tools session, and to change the dis-
play mode of multiple channel strips on D-Command.
The Do To All and Do To Selected switches can follow latching
or momentary behavior. If pressed briefly, they latch on and
flash until pressed a second time. If held, they apply to all con-
trols moved until released.
The Do to All and Do to Selected switches can latch on, and
are not cleared by the Escape switch. Use them carefully.
