Trim Lock (only available in ‘Motors Off’ mode — see below) defeats the auto nulling feature provided for the
standard Trim function, and ‘locks’ the null point to the position that the fader was in when Trim was first
enabled in the current Mix Pass. This enables a defined trim offset to be repeatedly punched in and out
throughout subsequent Mix Passes.
Select this function by pressing the TRIM LOK button in the ‘AUTOMATION’ group. When TRIM LOK is
deselected, any stored nulled points are cleared. AutoTakeover can be used when Trim Lock is active,
however Snap and Trim Lock are mutually exclusive; selecting one deselects the other, and vice versa.
As an example of Trim Lock, how about bringing up the level of some of guitar licks in a track. If Trim is used in
with Snap mode, the fader can be raised and let go repeatedly, returning to the previous level. However, it is
difficult to get an identical increase in level each time, when you do this manually. If you select TRIM LOK, the
reference value will be set, and the fader will be moved to the correct raised level. Every time you press the
fader status button, the fader will jump to that level and, when pressed again, it will return to the reference
value. Note that there will be no glide times but the maximum value will be identical each time.
