Chapter 2: New Features in Pro Tools HD 7.4cs1 5

Soft Keys Section

(All D-Control Systems)

In the D-Control Soft Keys section, the soft keys invoked by

the Actions and Modes switches now have a new layout of

pre-existing commands, to correspond with the new arrange-

ment of the “Auto Write To” switches on D-Control.

New Actions Switch Layout

In the Automation Soft Keys section, page 2 of the Actions

switch commands now shows the Auto Write To commands

in the following order:

Wrt To All (Write to All) Writes current automation values to

an entire selection or track while performing an automation

pass.

Snap Back Causes all Latch or Write enabled tracks to exit

their current automation pass and return instantly to the pre-

viously written automation levels. During playback, this com-

mand stops writing of automation without applying any Au-

toMatch ramping.

Wrt To Start (Write To Start) Writes current automation val-

ues from the insertion point backward to the beginning of a

selection or track while performing an automation pass.

Wrt To End (Write to End) Writes current automation values

from the insertion point forward to the end of a selection or

track while performing an automation pass.

Wrt To Punch (Write To Punch Point) Writes current automa-

tion values back to the point where writing of automation be-

gan

Wrt To Next (Write to Next Breakpoint) Writes current auto-

mation values from the insertion point forward to the next

automation breakpoint while performing an automation pass.

New Modes Switch Layout

In the Automation Soft Keys section, the Modes switch now

shows the Auto Write on Stop commands in the following or-

der:

AWrtTo All (Auto Write to All on Stop) Writes current automa-

tion values to an entire selection or track when the transport

is stopped after an automation pass.

AWrtTo Start (Auto Write to Start on Stop) Automatically

writes current automation values from the insertion point

backward to the beginning of a selection or track when the

transport is stopped after an automation pass.

AWrtTo End (Auto Write to End on Stop) Writes current auto-

mation values from the insertion point forward to the end of

a selection or track when the transport is stopped after an au-

tomation pass.

AWrtTo Punch (Auto Write to Punch Point on Stop) Writes cur-

rent automation values back to where the current automation

pass began.

AWrtTo Next (Auto Write to Next Breakpoint on Stop) Writes

current automation values from the insertion point forward to

the next automation breakpoint when the transport is

stopped after an automation pass.

Dual Transport Mode

(Digidesign MachineControl with a 9-pin or MMC Device)

With Digidesign MachineControl, you can now place D-Con-

trol in Dual Transport mode, which activates the second set of

Transport controls on D-Control (in the section labeled “Ma-

chine Transport”).

Dual Transport mode assigns the upper set of transport con-

trols to a 9-pin or MMC device using MachineControl.

 In Dual Transport mode, you can toggle the transport mas-

ter between “Transport=Pro Tools” and “Transport = Ma-

chine,” “Transport=MMC,” or “Transport=Remote” directly

from the D-Control Transport switches.

 In Single Transport mode, you toggle the transport master

between “Transport=Pro Tools” and “Transport = Machine,”

“Transport=MMC,” or “Transport=Remote” using the Ma-

chine Online switch in the Transport Mode controls.

New D-Control Transport Mode Preference

A new D-Control Console preference lets you switch between

Single and Dual Transport modes. In the Console Preferences,

page 5 of the Operation preferences now includes the follow-

ing preference:

Transpt (D-Control Transport Mode) Toggles D-Control trans-

port operation between Dual and Single Transport modes.

Dual Transport mode activates the second set of transport

controls on D-Control, in the section labeled “Machine Trans-

port.” In Single Transport mode, only the transport controls

marked “Pro Tools Transport” are active.

To toggle D-Control between Dual Transport mode and Single

Transport mode:

1 In the Soft Keys section, press the Operation switch repeat-

edly to display the page that includes “Transpt.”

2 Press the Soft Key that corresponds to “Transpt” to toggle

the Transport mode between “Dual” and “Single.”

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

Operation switch to exit.
