Meter Switch (Page 1)
The Meter switch displays the D-Control metering prefer-
ences, in pages of six. The Soft Key display is paged by repeat-
edly pressing the Meter Prefs switch in the Soft Keys section.
The Meter switch control D-Control meters only, and do not
affect the Pro Tools on-screen display.
SndMtr (Send Meters)
Toggles send metering on channel ro-
tary encoders on and off.
InsMtr (Insert Meters)
Toggles plug-in metering on channel
rotary encoders on and off.
VCAMtr (VCA Meters)
Toggles metering of VCA slaves on
channel rotary encoders on and off.
Meters
Toggles channel metering between pre- and post-fader
modes.
CtrMtr (Center Meters)
Toggles the 8-channel meter display
on the Main Unit meter bridge between main output levels
and the focused track.
GrChan (Gain Reduction Channel Display)
Sets channel meters
to display dynamics plug-in gain reduction when the plug-in
is focused on a channel strip.
Meter Switch (Page 2)
RefLvl (Reference Level)
Lets you change the D-Control meter
display to help monitor program material with respect to dif-
ferent reference levels.
GRPrio (Gain Reduction Priority)
When a multi-function Com-
pressor/Limiter or Expander/Gate plug-in is used, this prefer-
ence determines which function (“CompLm” or “ExpGat”)
has metering priority when encoder LED rings and channel
meters are set to display dynamics plug-in gain reduction.
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.

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 sec-
tion 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).

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.
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.
