and “Fine” settings.

The Pan on Lower Encoder preference determines whether
Pan controls are displayed on the bottom encoder of each

Custom Fader Preferences
The following settings and preferences affect display of Cus-
tom Faders on D-Control. For more information on using Cus-
tom Faders, see “Custom Fader Modes” on page 125.
Maximum Custom Fader Bank Size
The Maximum Custom Fader Bank Size preference determines
the number of channels to be used when displaying tracks in
the Left or Right Custom Fader bank.
Custom Fader Bank Size is set independently for each category
of Custom Fader modes (Plug-Ins, Groups, and Track Types).
Options for bank size include 4, 8, 16, or 32 channels, up to
the total number of channels on the D-Control system. You
can choose settings for each of these sizes (indicated by the
prefix “Min”) that use the minimum number of channels nec-
essary, so that the Custom Fader section dynamically resizes
to match the number of channels in the group.
To set the maximum Custom Fader bank size:
1 In the Soft Keys section, press the Operation switch repeat-
edly to display the page that includes the following Custom
Fader Bank Size preferences:
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 Cus-
tom 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 Cus-
tom Groups in the Right Custom Fader section.
