 Responding to Questions
When D2 Director needs to send you a messsage or ask you a
question it will do so with a Dialog. If a response is required the
options will appear in the Menu Bar. Select the desired option to
answer the question and the Dialog will close, returning you to
whatever you were doing.
In this example, D2 Director is responding to the DJ's command to
clear all tracks from the Crate by checking if he is really sure.
 Changing Settings
A Dialog can be used to change settings, in which case each setting
is shown with the active setting highlighted. Its value can be changed
simply by rotating the Push Select knob - some settings have a textual
description for each value, others have a sliding bar. To change a
different setting, press the Push Select knob. Keep pressing to cycle
through all the settings in turn. Settings usually take effect
immediately.
In this example the DJ is changing the mode settings for Deck A.
 Entering Text
A text entry box is used whenever you need to get some text into D2 Director, for example while searching for a track or
naming a playlist. Unlike other kinds of settings the text entry box has its own menu which works along with the Push
Select knob to make it easy to enter text with or without a keyboard. A highlighted box on the right shows the character
which you are about to enter and the menu can be used to delete the previous character (Delete), insert a space
(Space), switch between lower and upper case (Caps), and finsh entering text (Done).
If you have a USB keyboard connected to your D2 Director you can simply type text straight into a text entry box. This is
the fastest way to enter text. Use the left and right cursor keys to move around within the text you have entered. The
Enter and Tab keys complete text entry the same as the Done menu option.
If you do not have a keyboard connected you can enter characters using the Push Select knob. Rotate left or right to
move through each letter, numeral and symbol. To fix the desired character press the Push Select knob. When you're
finished, select Done.
