Rotary encoder resolution

[mixboy bob]

Hi All!

Here's my question. I'm looking at moving from ProControl to a D-Command. One of my main issues with the PC is the fact that I am ALWAYS holding down the apple key to get a finer resolution on the encoder while tweaking an eq. Without it, there's just too wide a jump in between settings. Is this going to be an issue with the D-Command, or can I turn a knob and have some nice, fine control over parameters?

For example, I use the SSL E-Channel 99% of the time. Without the apple key, the finest resolution on the gain pots is 1db! Frequency and Q controls aren't a whole lot better in the way they jump around.

I just want finesse. Can I have it with D-Command?

Thanks for all your insights, whoever may respond.

You've got a few options for the rotary encoder resolution and indeed a fine resolution. I prefer normal resolution + apple key (if needed)

From the manual:
"The Rotary Encoder mode affects responsiveness of rotary en-
coder knobs. Fixed mode is at normal resolution. The velocity
modes set different rates of encoder acceleration. In Fine
mode, response is fixed and at fine resolution."

Cheers,
Bart

Thanks Bart!

That's the kind of info I was looking for.
