Operation Switch
The Operation switch controls behaviors that are specific to
D-Control, and that do not affect the Pro Tools on-screen dis-
play. D-Control operation preferences are saved with
Pro Tools application preferences. For details on setting oper-
ation preferences, see “Setting D-Control Preferences” on
page 40.
Operation Switch (Page 1)
BnkJus (Bank Justification) Determines whether banks of
channels in Normal mode are justified at the left side, left cen-
ter (to the left of the Main Unit), right center, (to the right of
the Main Unit) or right side of the control surface.
Rotary (Rotary Encoder Velocity Mode) Determines respon-
siveness of rotary encoder knobs. Fixed mode is at normal res-
olution. The velocity modes set different rates of encoder ac-
celeration. In Fine mode, response is fixed and at fine
resolution.
LCFJst (Left Custom Fader Justification) Determines whether
the Custom Faders controlled by the Left Custom Faders sec-
tion are placed at the left, left center, right center, or right of
the Main Unit.
RCFJst (Right Custom Fader Justification) Determines
whether the Custom Faders controlled by the Right Custom
Faders section are placed at the left, left center, right center, or
right of the Main Unit.
LPIDef (Left Plug-in View Definition) Determines the view of
plug-in parameters on the Custom Faders in the Left Custom
Fader section (Name view, Expanded view, or Fader view).
RPIDef (Right Plug-in View Definition) Determines the view of
plug-in parameters on the Custom Faders in the Right Custom
Fader section (Name view, Expanded view, or Fader view).
Operation Switch (Page 2)
LCFPI (Left CF Bank Size for Plug-ins) Determines the number
of channels allocated for Custom Fader Plug-in mode in the
Left Custom Fader section.
RCFPI (Right CF Bank Size for Plug-ins) Determines the num-
ber of channels allocated for Custom Fader Plug-in mode in
the Right Custom Fader section.
LCFGrp (Left CF Bank Size for Custom Groups and Mix/Edit
Groups) Determines the number of channels allocated for
Custom Groups mode in the Left Custom Fader section.
RCFGrp (Right CF Bank Size for Custom Groups and Mix/Edit
Groups) Determines the number of channels allocated for
Custom Groups in the Right Custom Fader section.
LCFTyp (Left CF Bank Size for Track Type) Determines the
number of channels allocated for Custom Fader Tracks mode
in the Left Custom Fader section.
RCFTyp (Right CF Bank Size for Track Type) Determines the
number of channels allocated for Custom Fader Tracks mode
in the Right Custom Fader section.
Operation Switch (Page 3)
PanBot (Pan on Lower Encoder) Determines whether Pan con-
trols are displayed on the bottom encoder of each channel,
even when another type of controls is displayed on the upper
encoders.
Encod (Encoder Order) Determines whether inserts, sends, and
pan controls will be displayed in order from top-to-bottom or
bottom-to-top on D-Control rotary encoders.
ApTrgt (Target Track from Application) Determines whether se-
lecting an Insert or Send on-screen focuses its track on the
D-Control Main Unit.
Faders (Faders On/Off) Temporarily turns off D-Control faders
to prevent fader movement when monitoring a mix.
ChanWn (Channel Window Display) Determines whether dis-
playing plug-in or send parameters (by pressing an encoder Se-
lect switch) on D-Control opens the corresponding plug-in or
send window on-screen in Pro Tools. Also determines whether
the Channel Select switches (in the Dynamics or EQ sections)
change the channel display of multi-mono plug-ins.
When this preference is set to “Yes,” the on-screen display
of plug-in and send windows changes to reflect the state of the
control surface.
When this preference is set to “No,” the on-screen display of
plug-in and send windows does not change to reflect the state
of the control surface.
Select (Select Switch Latch Mode) Determines whether chan-
nel Select buttons follow latching or exclusive-or (non-latch-
ing) behavior when in Select mode.
For stereo tracks, the encoder shows by default L (left
channel). To change to the R channel, press Select.
