Chapter 6: Channel Strip Controls 33
Mic Pre
In Mic Pre mode, mic pre parameters are displayed on a chan-
nel strip’s encoders. In addition, the B/M/P switches do the
following:
• Top encoder, page 1: toggles phantom power on and off
• Bottom encoder page 1: toggles mic pre Pad on and off
• Top encoder, page 2: toggles mic pre HPF on and off
• Bottom encoder page 2: toggles mic pre Polarity
• Top encoder, page 3: toggles phantom power on and off
• Bottom encoder, page 3: toggles mic pre Insert on and off
Instrument Tracks
On Instrument Tracks, the bottom B/M/P switch is used to
control MIDI Mute state.
VCA Master Tracks
On VCA Master tracks, B/M/P switches are used to control the
Mute state of slave tracks.
MIDI Controls on Instrument Tracks
The Instruments View in Pro Tools contains MIDI controls
that can be displayed on the encoders of D-Command chan-
nel strips.
To display MIDI controls on an Instrument track:
„
In the Channel Strip Mode controls section of the Instru-
ment channel strip, press the Inserts switch and the Sends
switch simultaneously.
The MIDI controls appear on the encoders as follows:
• Top encoder: MIDi Pan
• Bottom encoder: MIDI Volume
• Bottom B/M/P switch: MIDI Mute
• Bottom encoder LED ring: MIDI Velocity meter
To exit display of MIDI controls:
„
Press another switch in the Channel Strip Mode section.
Slave Track Display on VCA Master Tracks
In normal Mode, VCA Master tracks show their slave tracks in
their rotary encoders, as follows:
• Encoder knob: Slave track Volume control
• Encoder LED ring: Slave track meter level
• Encoder B/M/P switch: Slave track mute
• Encoder Select switch: Focuses slave track in Focus Chan-
nel Strip
If there are more than two slave tracks for a VCA Master, you
can the press the channel Page Up/Page Down switches to dis-
play the additional slave tracks on the rotary encoders.
Channel Strip Mode Controls
Each channel strip has a set of Channel Strip Mode controls
for displaying and editing pan, plug-in, mic pre, insert, or
send parameters on the encoder section of the D-Command
channel strip.
Page Up and Page Down Switches
Control parameters are arranged on channel strip rotary en-
coders in
pages , or groups of up to two parameters at a time.
The Page Up and Page Down switches light to indicate the
presence of additional pages of pan, plug-in, mic pre parame-
ters, or (for VCA Master tracks) slave tracks, in the correspond-
ing direction on each channel strip. If no additional pages are
available, neither switch is lit.
To move the page display of parameters on the encoders up or
down:
„
Press a lit Page Up or Page Down switch.
Inserts Switch
When you press the Inserts switch, you enter Inserts mode,
and the plug-in names for the first two plug-ins on that chan-
nel strip are displayed on the encoder displays. If there are ad-
ditional plug-ins on the channel, the channel’s Page Up
switch lights.
To open a plug-in window from any channel on D-Command:
„
Hold Start (Windows) or Control (Mac) and press the Select
switch for the plug-in.
To close the plug-in window:
„
Hold Start (Windows) or Control (Mac) and press the Select
switch again.
The Inserts switch flashes when a plug-in on that channel has
clipped. To clear a clip, press the Clear Clip switch in the Ses-
sion Management section. See “Clear Clip Switch and Plug-in
Clip Indicator” on page 74 for more information.
