Chapter 6: C|24 Pro Tools Controls 39
Encoder LED rings can show send level, pan po-
sition, and plug-in parameter values. In Flip
mode, they can show track level or Send pan po-
sition.
Encoder Switch
The switches under each encoder perform a va-
riety of functions, depending on what is shown
in the LCD displays. Functions of the encoder
switch include:
• Sends Console view: Toggling Send mute or
Send pre/post status
• Pan/Send Channel view: Toggling Send
mute or Send pre/post status
• Parameter view: Cycling stepped plug-in
parameters, setting up multi-mono plug-in
operation
• Mic Pre view: If your system includes a
Digidesign PRE, controlling mic pre set-
tings
• Groups view: Selecting Group IDs for new
groups, enabling or selecting current
Groups
• Soft Keys view: Cycling preferences or per-
forming actions
• Default switch: Setting parameters to their
default values
• Window Configuration view: Creating, ed-
iting, and recalling Window configurations
• Memory Location view: Creating, editing,
and recalling Memory Locations
Switch Functions Section
The Switch Functions section has three switches
that set the function of the encoder switches in
certain views.
Select/Auto Switch
The Select/Auto switch is available only when
C|24 is in Parameter view.
Select When the Select/Auto switch is unlit, it is
in Select mode. In this mode, encoder switches
toggle plug-in parameters displayed above the
corresponding encoder.
Auto When the Select/Auto switch is lit, it is in
Auto mode. In this mode, encoder switches do
either of the following:
• If Pro Tools is idle or playing back, the en-
coder switches enable the corresponding
plug-in parameters for automation. The
switch lights to indicate enabled status.
• If an automation pass is in progress, the en-
coder switches flash to indicate writing of
plug-in automation. You can press a flash-
ing encoder switch to punch the plug-in
parameter out of writing.
Pre/Post Switch
The Pre/Post switch is available only when C|24
is in Sends Console view.
When the Pre/Post switch is lit, the encoder
switches toggle the corresponding Send between
pre- and post-fader operation. When the en-
coder switch is unlit, the Send is set to post-fader
operation. When the encoder switch is lit, the
Send is set to pre-fader operation.
When you hold down the Pre/Post switch, the
pre/post status of all Sends is displayed.
Send Mute Switch
The Send Mute switch is available only when
C|24 is in Sends Console view.
When the Send Mute switch is lit, the encoder
switches toggle the mute status of the corre-
sponding Send. When the encoder switch is un-
lit, the Send is not muted When the encoder
switch is lit, the Send is muted.
To view the mute status of all displayed Sends,
hold down the Send Mute switch.
