Chapter 3: ProControl Basics 69
Putting Channels at the Faders Using GO TO
and VIEW modes
The BANK SELECT/Nudge switches are not the only method
available for mapping Pro Tools tracks to ProControl chan-
nel strips. The CHANNEL MATRIX VIEW and GO TO
switches provide additional methods for navigating within
a session.
When to use GO TO or VIEW
If you know exactly what channel you want to go to, use
GO TO. If you are not sure which channel you need, VIEW
mode saves keystrokes by letting you “go to” numerous
times without having to press GO TO each time.
GO TO
The GO TO switch provides a convenient way to bring any
eight contiguous channels up on ProControl faders in-
stantly. It is used in combination with the BANK and PRI-
MARY switches in the CHANNEL MATRIX.
Example of GO TO
Assume you had a single ProControl Main Unit and were
working on a session with 60 Pro Tools channels. You cur-
rently have eight drum tracks “up” on the eight ProControl
faders, but you want to quickly call up channels 27-35 to
work on the background vocals on those channels.
You could use the NUDGE/BANK SELECT switches, but do-
ing so requires several steps. First, you would have to press
the BANK SELECT-Right arrow key three times to display
channels 25-32. Then you would switch to NUDGE mode
(Channel Select mode) and press the Nudge -Right arrow
key twice more so that channels 27-35 occupy the eight
channels on the unit.
In cases like the above, a faster alternative is to use the
GO TO switch—press GO TO, then press primary matrix
switch #27. This instantly places channel 27 at the left-most
fader of your ProControl system, with channels 28-35 occu-
pying the next eight faders, and so on.
