Data Encoder and LED Rings

Directly below the scribble strip on each chan-
nel is a Data Encoder knob (surrounded by a 
ring of 15 LEDs). In conjunction with the Chan-
nel Bar Display and scribble strips, the Data En-
coder Knobs and LED indicators are used to dis-
play and adjust values and parameters.

Depending on mode configuration, these knobs 
perform a variety of functions, some of which 
can take advantage of velocity sensitivity mode.

The Data Encoder Knobs function by default as 
pan controls. The LED ring around each knob 
give you a visual approximation of the pan set-
tings for each channel. When an encoder knob 
in Pan mode is moved, its precise setting is mo-
mentarily displayed in the scribble strip directly 
above.

Fine Adjust Mode

To adjust channel pan, send level or (stereo) send 
pan with Pro Tools fine-adjust mode:

■

Press 

(CTL) while adjusting pan or send 

level.

Velocity Sensitivity

By default, the data encoders are in a fixed-ve-
locity mode, that emulates the feel of analog 
pots. The VEL SENS ENCODERS switch 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 VEL SENS ENCODERS switch. After 

pressing VEL SENSE ENCODERS, a message will 
be displayed briefly across the scribble strips: 
“Channel encoders are now in velocity sensitive 
mode.”

To return to the default non-velocity-sensitive 
mode: 

■

Press the VEL SENS ENCODERS switch again. 

The message “Channel encoders are now in 
fixed mode” will be displayed briefly across the 
scribble strips. 

INPUT and OUTPUT Switches 

The INPUT and OUTPUT switches 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 87.
