Custom Fader Plug-In Mode View Definitions
There are three view options available for display of plug-in
parameters in the channel displays of the Custom Faders.
These options, or
view definitions, are accessible from the
D-Control operation preferences.
Name View Shows the track name, plug-in name and channel
format of the currently focused plug-in in the channel dis-
plays of the Custom Faders.
Expanded View Shows additional plug-in controls in the chan-
nel displays of the Custom Faders. This view can also be seen
at any time by pressing and holding the Plug-In switch in the
Custom Fader section until the switch flashes. See “Expanded
Plug-In View” on page 154.
Fader View Maintains track names on channel displays and
fader control of track volume while Custom Fader plug-in pa-
rameters are displayed in the channel encoders. Entering Ex-
panded view or Plug-In Map mode automatically exits Fader
view.

edly to display the page that includes Plug-In View Definitions
