MIDI Controls on Instrument Tracks
The Instruments View in Pro Tools contains MIDI controls
that can be displayed on the encoders of D-Command chan-
nel strips.
To display MIDI controls:
■ Hold the Inserts switch and press the Sends switch in the
Channel Strip Mode controls section of the channel strip.
The MIDI controls appear on the channel encoders as follows:
• Encoder #2 knob: MIDI Volume
• Encoder #2 B/M/P switch: MIDI Mute
• Encoder #2 LED ring: MIDI Velocity Meter
• Encoder #1 knob: MIDI Pan
To exit display of MIDI controls:
■ Press another switch in the Channel Strip Mode section.
Instrument Tracks and Flip Mode
When MIDI controls for Instrument tracks are displayed on
the encoders, they can be transferred (or “flipped”) to the
channel faders, allowing control of MIDI Volume or MIDI Pan
from the channel faders.
To transfer controls from the rotary encoders to the channel
faders:
■ Press the Flip switch that corresponds to the row of encod-
ers you want to transfer.
In Flip mode, Instrument track controls are transferred as fol-
lows:
• The fader on each channel controls the parameter (MIDI
Volume or MIDI Pan) that was assigned to the encoder, and
the encoder controls track Volume.
• The channel Mute switch controls the MIDI Mute function,
and the B/M/P switch on the encoder controls channel
mute.
To exit Flip mode:
■ Press a lighted Flip switch.
Channel Strip Function Controls
Each channel strip has a set of Channel Strip Function con-
trols for controlling channel selection and focus, mute, solo,
and record enable status, input monitor mode, and automa-
tion mode.
Input Monitor Mode Switch
The Input Monitor Mode switch toggles the input monitoring
mode for that channel between Auto Input and Input Only
mode. The switch lights when the channel is in Input Only
mode.
Record Enable Switch
The Record Enable switch toggles record enable status for the
channel. When the channel is record-enabled and the
Pro Tools transport is stopped, the switch flashes. During re-
cording, the switch lights continuously.
Record Safe Mode To record safe a track from D-Command,
hold Control (Windows) or Command (Mac) and press the
track’s Record Enable switch.
Channel Select Switch
The function of the Channel Select switch depends on the Se-
lect/Focus Mode setting. See “Select/Focus Mode Switch and
Indicators” on page 37 for more information on changing the
Select/Focus mode.
