Rotary Encoder Velocity Mode
The Rotary Encoder Velocity mode affects responsiveness of 
rotary encoder knobs. Fixed mode is at normal resolution. In 
Velocity Sensitive mode, acceleration can be set to slow, me-
dium or fast. In Fine mode, response is fixed at fine resolution.
To set the Rotary Encoder Velocity mode:

edly to display the page that includes the Rotary Encoder Ve-
locity Mode preference (“Rotary”). 
2 Press the Soft Key that corresponds to “Rotary” to choose be-
tween the “Fixed,” “Vel-Sl” (velocity-sensitive slow) “Vel-Md” 
(velocity-sensitive medium) “Vel-Fa” (velocity-sensitive fast) 
and “Fine” settings.
3 Hold Control (Windows) or Command (Mac) and press the 
Operation switch to exit.
Pan on Lower Encoder
The Pan on Lower Encoder preference determines whether 
Pan controls are displayed on the bottom encoder of each 
channel, even when another type of control is displayed on 
the upper encoders. 
To set the Pan on Lower Encoder preference:
1 In the Soft Keys section, press the Operation switch repeat-
edly to display the page that includes the Pan on Lower En-
coder preference (“PanBot”). 
2 Press the Soft Key that corresponds to “PanBot” to toggle the 
setting between “Yes” and “No.”
3 Hold Control (Windows) or Command (Mac) and press the 
Operation switch to exit.
Encoder Order
The Encoder Order preference determines whether inserts, 
sends, and pan controls will be displayed in order from 
top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top on D-Control rotary encod-
ers.
To set the Encoder Order preference:
1 In the Soft Keys section, press the Operation switch repeat-
edly to display the page that includes the Encoder Order pref-
erence (“Encod”). 
2 Press the Soft Key that corresponds to “Encod” to toggle the 
setting between “Bot-Tp” (bottom-to-top ordering) and 
“Tp-Bot” (top-to-bottom ordering).

tings.

Operation switch to exit.
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.
