MASTER FADERS Button
To make it as easy as possible to work with mul-
tiple Master Faders, the MASTER FADERS switch
instantly brings all Master Faders to the fader
bank with a single button.
To call up all Master Faders with the MASTER
FADERS switch:
■ Press the MASTER FADERS switch, located to
the right of the fader bank, directly below the
UTILITY button.
The MASTER FADERS switch LED will flash and
all Master Faders in the current Pro Tools session
(regardless of Show/Hide status) are displayed
on the Control 24 Main unit.
Master Faders fill the fader bank beginning from
the right-most fader (closest to the Transport
section).
The NUDGE switch will light if there are more
than 24 Master Faders in the session. If neces-
sary, press the BANK RIGHT or BANK LEFT but-
tons to bring up the next set of Master Faders.
To exit Master Faders mode:
Press the MASTER FADERS switch again. The
faders will revert to their previous state, prior to
engaging Master Faders mode.
Sends
Sends are used to route variable levels of a selec-
tion of tracks to the same destination, and are
most commonly used to create submixes, for
monitoring or effects processing.
Control 24 provides two ways of accessing
sends:
• Globally: Displays the status of a specific send
name (Send A, Send B, and so on) for each
channel (in conjunction with the SENDS sec-
tion buttons).
• By Channel: Displays all sends for a single
channel across the scribble strips. This
method invokes Pan/Send mode.
Assigning Sends Globally
To assign a send globally from Home or Sends
mode:
1 Press the ASSIGN button in the ASSIGNMENT
section.
2 Select one of the send buttons (SEND A/F—
SEND E/J) in the SENDS section.
3 Adjust the data encoder knob to scroll
through the list of available outputs on each
track you want to configure.
4 When the send destination you want appears
in the scribble strip, press the flashing switch be-
low the encoder to confirm the assignment.
5 Adjust the data encoder knobs on any other
tracks for which you would like to make output-
put assignments. Press the flashing buttons di-
rectly below the data encoder knobs to confirm
any other choices.
