Chapter 7: Plug-In Controls 75
Plug-In Mapping
You can put a plug-in into Learn mode, select parameters for
mapping, and independently map two sets of plug-in parame-
ters to each encoder or its associated B/M/P switch, all directly
from the control surface.
You can map parameters to encoders and B/M/P switches in
both the Custom Faders and in channel strips.
When you put a plug-in into Learn mode, its track is focused
in the Focus Channel strip and it is automatically put into
Custom Fader Plug-In mode. In Learn mode, encoder displays
for a focused plug-in are blank, showing that it is ready for
mapping of parameters to the encoders and B/M/P switches.
LrnTch (Learn Touch) Console Preference
The Learn Touch preference (in the Operation Soft Keys) de-
termines whether controls are active when a plug-in is in
Learn mode. When this preference is enabled, encoders and
switches will not send commands to Pro Tools while in Learn
mode, but will only allow Learn mode operations. This lets
you select parameters for mapping from the control surface.
Plug-In Mapping and Channel Strips
D-Control plug-in map parameters are arranged in Channel
Strip pages of 6 separately mappable encoders and switches.
These pages are displayed one full page at a time on the 6 en-
coders in D-Control channel strips.
Plug-In Mapping and Custom Fader Bank Size
D-Control plug-in map parameters are arranged in Custom
Fader pages of 8 separately mappable encoders and switches.
When plug-in mapping is displayed in Plug-In Custom Fader
banks, the arrangement of plug-in map pages follows the set-
ting for Maximum Custom Fader Bank Size for Plug-Ins (in
the Operation Soft keys).
By default, the Left Custom Fader Bank is used, unless the Left
Custom Fader Bank Size (LCF) is set to 0 or the Left Custom
Faders are locked. In these cases, the Right Custom Fader
Bank is used.
Putting a Plug-In into Learn Mode
You can put a plug-in into Learn mode directly from D-Con-
trol.
To put a plug-in into Learn mode from the control surface:
1
Focus the plug-in in Custom Fader mode.
2
Hold Start (Windows) or Control (Mac) and press the Map
switch in the Custom Faders section.
To take a plug-in out of Learn mode from the control surface:

Hold Start (Windows) or Control (Mac) and press the flash-
ing Map switch in the Custom Faders section.
– or –

Press the Win switch in the Custom Faders section to close
the plug-in window.
Creating and Editing Plug-In Maps
To create a custom map of plug-in parameters:
1
Make sure the LrnTch (Learn Touch) preference (in the Op-
eration Soft Keys) is set to On .
2
Open the plug-in whose mapping you want to customize.
3
Put the plug-in into Learn mode. The plug-in is focused with
blank encoders and switches, ready for mapping.
4
On the control surface, do one of the following:
• For an EQ or Dynamics plug-in, make sure a plug-in of
the same type is displayed in the EQ or Dynamics section
of the control surface.
– or –
• For all other plug-in types, display a different instance of
the same plug-in type in a second location (for example,
on a channel strip in Normal mode, or in another bank of
Custom Faders).
5
Touch the encoder or press the switch for the parameter you
want to map. The encoder’s auto LED or the switch’s Mute LED
lights.
6
On the encoder where you want to map the parameter, press
the encoder Select switch to toggle between the two available
views on the control.
7
Map the parameter by doing one of the following:
• Touch the encoder to map a continuous or a switched pa-
rameter, or press the B/M/P switch to map a switched pa-
rameter.
– or –
• If D-Control is in Flip mode, touch the fader to map a
continuous or a switched parameter, or press the channel
Select switch to map a switched parameter.
8
Take the plug-in out of Learn mode.
For complete instruction on creating and managing
plug-in maps, see the Pro Tools Reference Guide.
You cannot map controls to the EQ and Dynamics
sections of D-Control.
When creating and recalling plug-in maps, it is important
to use the same Custom Fader Bank Size setting, so that
plug-in maps display consistently. The examples in this sec-
tion are for a Custom Fader Bank Size of 8 channels.
