Chapter 7: Plug-in Controls 69

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-Control to automatically open plug-in windows:

1 Press the Operation switch in the D-Control Soft Keys sec-

tion repeatedly to display the page that includes the Channel

Window Display preference (“ChanWn”).

2 Press the Soft Key that corresponds to “ChanWn” until its

value is “Yes.”

With this preference set to “Yes,” when you assign 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.

Managing Multiple Plug-in Windows

D-Control lets you open and swap multiple plug-in windows

on-screen. This makes it possible keep plug-in windows open

while focusing on different tracks (for example, in a session

where several tracks have Dynamics and EQ plug-ins).

Targeting Plug-ins

A plug-in is said to be targeted on-screen when its target icon in

the plug-in window header is lit red. The first plug-in window

to be opened is automatically targeted.

 When a plug-in window is targeted, it is replaced when you

open any new plug-in window.

 When a plug-in window is not targeted (when its target icon

is grey) the plug-in window will remain on-screen.

To open multiple plug-in windows:

 Hold Shift while opening each new window. The new

plug-in windows are not targeted.

To swap multiple plug-in windows while changing track focus:

1 Focus a track with multiple plug-ins (for example, dynam-

ics, EQ and Pitch Shift plug-ins) by pressing the track’s Select

switch.

2 Open multiple plug-in windows on the focused track while

holding the Shift modifier.

3 Hold Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac) while changing focus

to another track with multiple plug-ins by pressing the track’s

Select switch.

Focused plug-ins with open windows swap into new plug-in

windows on-screen, wherever plug-ins are present in the new

track.

Making Plug-ins Inactive or Active

You can toggle the active/inactive status of a plug-in directly

from a channel strip without putting D-Control into Make

Inactive mode.

To toggle a plug-in active/inactive directly from a channel strip:

1 Press the Inserts switch on a channel strip to display the

names of the plug-ins on the channel’s encoders.

2 Hold Control+Start (Windows) or Control+ Command

(Mac) and press the encoder Select switch for the plug-in.

Changing Plug-in Presets from Channel

Strips

You can activate next or previous settings in the Plug-in Li-

brarian menu directly from any channel strip on D-Control.

These commands mirror the Next and Previous Setting but-

tons in the plug-in header.

To enable the next or previous plug-in setting from a channel

strip:

1 Focus the plug-in in a channel strip so its controls are visible

on the channel strip encoders.

2 Hold Control (Windows) or Command (Mac) and press the

Page Up (Next) or Page Down (Previous) switch in that chan-

nel strip’s Channel Strip Mode controls.
