Changing Parameter Display on D-Command Channel Strips
The Do To All and Do To Selected switches can be used to dis-
play and edit pan, mic pre, insert, or send parameters across
all channels on the D-Command surface.
The Do To All and Do To Selected switches are applied inde-
pendently to channel strips in Normal mode and Custom
Fader mode. This independent operation lets you put banks of
channels in several display modes at once (for example, pan
on channels in Normal mode, and plug-ins on channels in
Custom Fader mode).
To change the display mode of D-Command channel strips:
Press the Do To All or the Do To Selected switch.

The Display Mode switch toggles the channel display between
the five display modes: Track Name, Group/ Name, Channel

"Channel Display" on page 33 for more information.
Set To Default Switch
The Set to Default switch lets you reset parameters that are
currently visible on the D-Command surface to their default
values. This switch works in both Normal and Custom Fader
modes.
The Set to Default switch can follow latching or momentary
behavior. If pressed briefly, it latches on and flashes until
pressed a second time. If held, its effect applies until released.
