Focusing a Plug-In
Focusing a plug-in on D-Control brings the plug-in’s controls
to channel strip encoders and faders for convenient editing.
You can focus a plug-in in several ways: on the encoders of its
channel; on the encoders of the Focus Channel Strip, and in
the Custom Faders section.
With dynamics and EQ plug-ins, you can also focus plug-in
parameters on the dedicated Dynamics and EQ sections of
D-Control.
To focus a plug-in on a channel strip:
1 Press the Inserts switch on the channel. The plug-in names
are displayed in the channel’s encoders.
2 Press the Select switch under the name of the plug-in you
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 then available for Custom Fader Plug-In mode. (See “Plug-In
Mode” on page 130.)
