Plug-In Automation Controls
The Plug-In Automation controls are used to enable parame-
ters for automation and to place them in automation safe
mode.
Enable Parameters Switch
The Enable Parameters switch lets you enable parameters for
automation by touching or pressing their controls.
In Enable Parameters mode, the Enable Parameters switch is
lit. While in this mode, the Auto LED for any rotary encoder
enabled for automation is lit red, and the switch for any pa-
rameter enabled for automation is lit.
To toggle automation on and off for plug-in parameters:
1
Press the Enable Parameters switch.
2
Touch the rotary encoders or press the switches for the con-
trols whose automation you want to toggle on or off.
3
Press the Enable Parameters switch again to exit Enable Pa-
rameters mode.
Automation Safe Switch
The Automation Safe switch invokes a mode in which the By-
pass/Mute/Pre switch for each plug-in or send and the channel
Select switch for each track become Safe switches.
Plug-Ins and Sends
While in Automation Safe mode, pressing a Bypass/Mute/Pre
switch on a plug-in or send protects any automation on that
plug-in or send from being overwritten. The Bypass/Mute/Pre
switch for any protected plug-in or send is lit, reflecting the
state of the Safe button in the on-screen plug-in or send output
window.
Tracks
While in Automation Safe mode, pressing a channel Select
switch protects volume, pan and mute parameters on that
track from being overwritten. The channel Select switch for
any protected track is lit, reflecting the state of the Safe button
in the on-screen track output window.
To toggle automation safe on and off:
1
Press the Automation Safe switch.
2
Press the channel Select switch on the tracks for which you
want to toggle automation safe status. The automation safe
status of the track is reflected by the Safe button in the track’s
on-screen output window.
3
Press the Bypass/Mute/Pre switch for the plug-ins or sends
for which you want to toggle automation safe status.
4
Press the Automation Safe switch again to exit Automation
Safe mode.
Assign Controls
The Assign controls are used to assign inputs, outputs, in-
serts, and sends to channels. Each switch puts D-Control into
a temporary Assign mode in which elements are assigned or
removed from channels. The switch flashes while Assign mode
is in effect.
You can enter Assign mode while Pro Tools is playing back. To
confirm the assignment of inputs, outputs, and sends, the
transport must be stopped. You can, however, confirm the as-
signment of inserts during playback.
Assign Inputs Switch
The Inputs switch invokes Assign Inputs mode, in which the
bottom row of encoders shows channel inputs.
When assigning an input, the Select switch on the bottom en-
coder is used to navigate down through Input menu levels, and
the encoder knob is used to scroll through available choices at
each level:
• Input type (Interface or Bus), shown in yellow
• Individual inputs, shown in green
Press the Bypass/Mute/Pre switch on the bottom encoder to
navigate back up the Input menu levels.
Plug-In Automation controls
You can also toggle automation for a plug-in parameter by
holding Alt+Start (Windows) or
Control (Mac) and touching the rotary encoder for
the parameter.
