2 READY TRIM Push-Button
{READY TRIM} works in the same way as
{READY ABSOLUTE}. It allows cuts to be set up such
that existing cuts can be modified, or additional cuts
created, without overwriting previous cuts.
3 READY CANCEL Push-Button
{READY CANCEL} takes all controls out of the ‘ready’
state and returns them to a ‘safe’ mode.
4 GLOBAL DROP-IN Key
{GLOBAL DROP-IN} puts the cuts which are set up
‘ready’ into write and can be actioned either before the
tape is rolling or while it is rolling. Once
{GLOBAL DROP-IN} is selected, the cuts can be
actioned, whilst the tape is rolling. To revise any cuts,
roll the tape back and play again. The cuts will be
replayed and none will be overwritten until
{GLOBAL DROP-IN} is pressed once more.
Alternatively, an individual switch will drop into
automation record at the moment it is pressed,
changing its state at the same time.
Note:
The state of a switch can be retained when dropping in using
READY ABSOLUTE by holding its {ABS} button whilst
pressing the switch.
5 GLOBAL DROP-OUT Key
{GLOBAL DROP-OUT} causes all controls to drop out of
automation record.
To automate cuts
1
To start at the beginning of the Title, on the
Control Keyboard press:
{LOCATE} {TITLE} {ENTER}
or:
{LOCATE} {ENTER}
to locate to the last entered starting time.
2
‘Ready’ enable the cuts to be automated with
{READY ABSOLUTE} (or {READY TRIM}) or:
‘Ready’ enable cuts using the ‘local’ method
described at the beginning of this section.
3
Press {GLOBAL DROP-IN} either before or after
rolling the tape to drop all ‘ready’ enabled cuts into
automation record, or press switches individually.
4
Write cuts as required.
Note:
To audition a channel which is cut, assign the Definable
Knobs to INPUT GAIN and press AFL on the appropriate
channel.
5
Press {GLOBAL DROP-OUT} after writing cuts.
6
Press {READY CANCEL} and then {PLAY} {ENTER}
on the Control Keyboard to hear the result and note
that automated cuts are indicated by switches
lighting amber.
Note:
As soon as any automation has been recorded, the message
‘(New) 1 DYNAMIC LAYER’ is displayed on the MIXES &
CUES GUI at the top right, to indicate that un-saved
automation data is resident in the system.
UNDO and REDO functions
As passes are made by rolling forwards and back, a set
of un-saved passes is built up which is resident in the
system memory. Use {UNDO} to step backwards
through individual passes to the last SAVE command
and {REDO} to go forwards. Press {UNDO ALL} to go
all the way back in one step and {REDO ALL} to go all
the way forwards in one step.
Individual channel UNDO
To undo automation actions for an individual channel,
press and hold {ACCESS} for that channel, then press
{UNDO}. All automation data for the last pass will be
removed from any controls that were automated.
Repeat for other individual channels.
Note:
UNDO operations for individual channels cannot be
reversed using REDO.
How to modify cuts using READY TRIM
Note:
Although it is often easier to rewrite cuts rather than modify
them, the following online functions are available. (Offline
adjustments can be made using the OFFLINE: CUTS GUI).
1
‘Ready’ Trim enable the cuts to be automated with
the central {READY TRIM} button or:
‘Ready’ Trim enable the cuts using the ‘local’
method described at the beginning of this section.
