7-7-5 To Automate a Pan Move (or any other knob)
The principles for automating knobs are the similar to those for faders, but note that all knobs, except levels which
can be assigned to Faders, must be set up using the global {READY ABSOLUTE} and {READY TRIM} buttons beneath
the central LCD.

To automate a PAN (or any other knob)
1
Latch the {READY ABSOLUTE} button on the panel
below the central LCD and push the PAN knob.
Its red LED flashes to show that it is in ready
absolute mode. De-select {READY ABSOLUTE} or
play the tape when it will de-select automatically.
2
Press the PAN knob again either before or after the
tape is rolling and the LED will light full on,
indicating that moves will be recorded. Make the
desired moves.
3
To revise moves, roll back and press the knob once
more. Whilst the tape is rolling back, the red LED
will flash again. Either whilst the tape is stopped,
or when it is playing again, press the PAN knob
once more and its LED lights solidly indicating the
absolute write function overwriting previous
moves. Roll-back for the knobs works in the same
manner as for faders, except that instead of the
knobs moving, the LEDs in the skirt of the knob
reflect previous move data.
