Chapter 7: Plug-in Controls
D-Control lets you assign, display and control plug-ins di-
rectly from the control surface in several ways.
D-Control provides dedicated Dynamics and EQ sections for
plug-ins that support Dynamics and EQ plug-in mapping.
These sections include encoders and switches that map to
standard controls for each plug-in type.
Plug-ins of all types can be focused across multiple D-Control
channels using Custom Fader Plug-ins mode. See “Custom
Fader Plug-In Mode” on page 153.
Plug-in Channel Formats
D-Control supports mono, stereo, multichannel and
multi-mono plug-in channel formats. Multi-mono plug-ins
comprise up to eight individual mono channels that can be
linked in any combination.
With D-Control, you can display, edit, and link specific chan-
nels of multi-mono Dynamics and EQ plug-ins directly from
the Channel Select switches in the corresponding section.
Assigning and Removing Plug-ins
You can make plug-in assignments directly from D-Control in
several ways. In Inserts mode, plug-ins can be added on an in-
sert-by-insert basis. In Assign Inserts mode you can assign
plug-ins to insert positions on multiple tracks.
