Chapter 8: Working with Tracks 73
Velocity Sensitivity
By default, the data encoders are in a fixed-ve-
locity mode, that emulates the feel of analog
pots. The FINE ADJ ENCODERS button globally
toggles the encoders to a velocity-sensitive
mode in which fine adjustments can be made
with greater precision by turning the knobs
more slowly.
To enter velocity-sensitive mode:
■ Press the FINE ADJ ENCODERS button. For as
long as you press this button, a message will be
displayed across the scribble strips: “Channel
encoders are now in velocity sensing mode.”
To return to the default non-velocity-sensitive
mode:
■ Press the FINE ADJ ENCODERS button again.
For as long as you press this button, a message
will be displayed across the scribble strips:
“Channels encoders are now in fixed mode.”
INPUT and OUTPUT Buttons
The INPUT or OUTPUT buttons in the Assign-
ment section work in conjunction with the en-
coder knobs and scribble strips on each channel
to assign input and output routing. See “Assign-
ing Channel Input” on page 93.
PAN/SEND Button
The PAN/SEND button invokes Pan/Send mode,
that displays all of the track’s pan and sends in-
formation across the scribble strips.
To enter Pan/Sends Mode:
■ Press a channel’s PAN/SEND button.
For a complete description of Pan/Send mode
functionality, see “Sends” on page 105.
EQ and DYN Buttons
Dedicated EQ and Dynamics Plug-Ins Access
Each channel has dedicated buttons labeled EQ
and DYN, that give you access to any available
equalization and dynamics processing plug-ins
currently loaded in Pro Tools.
These specialized insert buttons mimic a tradi-
tional recording console’s layout, and are pro-
vided to enhance workflow, particularly when
you don’t want to scroll through your entire col-
lection of plug-ins to get to a compressor or an
EQ effect.
