Record
The ProControl RECORD switch LED always tracks
the state of the device under control. Keep in mind, how-
ever, that this is distinct from the remote track-arming ca-
pabilities provided by the MachineControl option for
Pro Tools (available separately from your Digidesign
dealer).
Footswitch Control
There are two general-purpose footswitch inputs (for mo-
mentary footswitches) on the rear panel (SW1 and SW2)
that are used for general transport control. Either foot-
switch can control Play/Stop, Punch in/out, or Talkback. In
addition, the polarity of each switch can be reversed.
To configure the Footswitch (SW1, SW2) parameters:
■ On your Main Unit, press UTILITY>PREFS>SWITCH1 or
SWITCH2 (the options are the same for both). Now select
the Polarity (+ or -) and function for the selected switch
(PLAY/STOP, RECORD or TALKBACK).
When either footswitch is employed, the following short-
cuts are available:
To cancel a record pass:
■ Hold down SHIFT/ADD and press Footswitch #1 to cancel
the recording without saving the most recent recording.
To initiate half-speed playback:
■ Hold down SHIFT/ADD and press Footswitch #1.
