D-Command Multi-Mode
Pro Tools 10 adds Multi-mode capability to
D-Command consoles.
D-Command Multi-mode lets you use a single
D-Command console to access two Pro Tools
systems on a network. In Multi-mode, you can
quickly switch worksurface control from one
system to the other by pressing a single switch
on the console.
Enabling Multi-Mode
To enable a D-Command console to be declared
on two Pro Tools systems, the D-Command Main
Unit and any Fader Modules must first be placed
in Multi-mode.
To place a D-Command unit in Multi-mode:
1 If a D-Command is declared on a system, do
one of the following:
•Quit ProTools.
– or –
• Undeclare the D-Command in the Pro Tools
Peripherals dialog.
2 Press and hold the Solo switch on the left-most
Channel Strip on the unit for approximately
three seconds.
When in Multi-mode, the unit displays “D-Com-
mand Multi-Mode” in the Soft Keys (on a Main
Unit) or in the Channel Displays (on a Fader
Module).
When a D-Command unit is in Multi-mode,
it is not possible to update its firmware. To
allow updating of D-Command firmware
from Pro Tools, first take the unit out of
Multi-mode.
