D-Command Guide 50
Focusing Plug-ins on D-Command
A plug-in is focused when its controls are mapped to the knobs,
switches or faders on D-Command. Its parameters can then be
edited and automated from the control surface. D-Command
lets you focus a plug-in with or without displaying its window
on-screen.
You can focus plug-ins in multiple locations on D-Command:
in the Dynamics section, in the EQ section, and in the Custom
Faders section.
When a plug-in is focused on D-Command and displayed
on-screen in Pro Tools, a colored outline appears in the
plug-in window header.
To focus a plug-in in the Dynamics or EQ section:
1
Focus the plug-in’s track in the Focus Channel section by
pressing the track’s Select switch. The first dynamics and EQ
plug-ins on that track are automatically focused in the corre-
sponding D-Command section.
2
Press the Cycle switch in the Dynamics or EQ section to fo-
cus successive dynamics or EQ plug-ins on that channel. (The
No Insert option is always available.)
To focus a plug-in in the Custom Faders section:
1
Focus the plug-in’s track in the Focus Channel section by
pressing the track’s Select switch. The name of the first plug-in
that is not a dynamics or EQ plug-in appears in the Focus
Channel display.
2
Press the Plug-in switch in the Custom Faders section. The
switch lights to indicate the mode is active. The plug-in name
and channel format appear in the Custom Fader channel dis-
plays, and the plug-in’s parameters appear in the Custom
Fader channel encoders.
3
In the Custom Faders section, press the Bank/Cycle switch
to cycle through the plug-ins on the focused channel. (The No
Insert option is always available.)
The plug-in whose name appears in the Custom Faders display
is focused in Custom Fader mode. See “Plug-In Mode” on
page 104.
Opening Plug-in Windows On-Screen
There are several ways to open plug-in windows on-screen
from D-Command.
To open a plug-in window from any channel on D-Command:
„
Hold Start (Windows) or Control (Mac) and press the en-
coder Select switch for the plug-in.
To open a plug-in window on a focused track:
1
Focus a track in the Focus Channel section by pressing its Se-
lect switch.
2
In the Custom Faders section, press the Bank/Cycle switch
to cycle through the plug-ins on the focused track. Plug-in
names are shown in the Custom Faders display.
3
In the Custom Faders section, press the Win switch to open
the plug-in whose name is displayed.
To open a focused dynamics or EQ plug-in window:
„
Press the Window switch in the Dynamics or EQ section of
D-Command.
To open or close all focused plug-in windows:
„
Press the Plug-in switch in the Window Management sec-
tion.
To close all open plug-in windows:
„
Hold Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac) and press the Plug-in
switch in the Window Management section. This closes all
real-time and AudioSuite plug-in windows.
To set D-Command to automatically open plug-in windows:
1
Press the Operations switch in the D-Command Soft Keys
section twice.
2
Press the Soft Key that corresponds to “ChanWn” until its
value is “Yes.”
With this preference set to “Yes,” when you insert a new
plug-in, press an encoder Select switch to edit a plug-in, or cy-
cle through plug-ins on the focused track, the plug-in window
will automatically open on-screen.
When plug-in names are shown on the encoder displays, a
plug-in can be quickly brought into Custom Fader mode by
pressing its associated encoder Select switch.
