Working with DAW Automation
Duality’s touch sensitive moving faders can be used to write automation for the DAW faders. Most automation
functions are enabled from the soft key matrix below the Plug-in Editor display screen. Menus are provided for
Automation Enables, Automation Modes, Grouping and Editing functions.
Note that automation data can usually only be written when the DAW is in Play, Half-Speed Play or Record
Automation Enables
The Automation Enables (AuEn) menu is used to globally engage or disengage automation for the following
items: Faders, Pans, Plug-Ins, Mutes (cuts), Sends and Send Muting. Holding down the OPTION button and
then pressing any of the submenu buttons will toggle automation on or off for all controls. The Pan automation
enable includes both Channel and Send Pan.
Automation Modes
Several Automation Modes (AuMo) are available: Write (Wrt), Touch (Tch), Latch (Ltch), Trim (Trim), Read
(Read) and Off (Off). Entries in parenthesis ( ) indicate the mode as shown on the channel scribble strip. To
change automation mode on a channel, select an automation mode from the soft key menu and then press the
auto button on a channel fader. Holding down OPTION and then selecting an automation mode will change the
automation mode on all channels.
Refer to your DAW manual for more information on its specific automation features
TRIM Mode
If your DAW supports Trim automation mode, this can be selected by pressing the Trim soft key in the AuMo
(Auto Modes) menu, and then pressing a channel auto button. This changes the current automation mode into a
‘Trim’ equivalent. Holding down OPTION and then pressing Trim in the soft key menu will set Trim mode on all
channels.
You can confirm that a fader is in Trim by pressing and holding the fader’s auto button – its scribble strip will
display a
T in front of the normal automation mode indication. Alternatively, select the Auto soft key in the StGr
(Status/Groups) menu; this will display, in the scribble strip, the automation modes of all channels.
