Assign Controls

The Assign controls are used to assign inputs, outputs, inserts,

and sends to channels. Each switch puts D-Control into a tem-

porary Assign mode in which elements are assigned or re-

moved 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.

Assign Outputs Switch

The Outputs switch invokes Assign Outputs mode, in which

the bottom row of encoders shows channel outputs.

When assigning an output, the Select switch on the bottom

encoder is used to navigate down through Output menu lev-

els, and the encoder knob is used to scroll through available

choices at each level:

• Output type (Interface or Bus), shown in yellow

• Individual outputs, shown in green

Press the Bypass/Mute/Pre switch on the bottom encoder to

navigate back up the Output menu levels.

Assign Sends Switch

The Sends switch invokes Assign Sends mode, in which the

channel encoders shows the sends on a channel.

When assigning a send, the encoder Select switch is used to

navigate down through Send menu levels, and the encoder

knob is used to scroll through available choices at each level:

• Send type (Interface or Bus), shown in yellow

• Individual sends, shown in green

The Bypass/Mute/Pre switch on each encoder is used to navi-

gate back up the Send menu levels.

Assign Inserts Switch

The Inserts switch invokes Assign Inserts mode, in which the

channel encoders show the inserts on a channel. When as-

signing an insert, the encoder Select switch is used to navigate

down through Insert menu levels, and the encoder knob is

used to scroll through available choices. The Bypass/Mute/Pre

switch on the bottom encoder is used to navigate back up the

Insert menu levels.

The order in which plug-ins appear in the Insert menu is de-

termined by the Pro Tools Display preference for plug-in orga-

nization.

If the Organize Plug-in Menus by Category option is selected,

menu levels and choices include:

• Insert type (TDM plug-in, RTAS plug-in, Multi-Mono

TDM plug-in, Multi-Mono RTAS plug-in, or Hardware In-

sert), shown in yellow

• Plug-in subfolder (such as EQ, Dynamics, Pitch Shift, Re-

verb, and Delay), shown in yellow

• Individual insert or plug-in, shown in green

If the Organize Plug-in Menus by Category option is not se-

lected, the Plug-in subfolder level is not present.
