1 Touch-sensitive fader knob
2 Automation Write button

6 Ready TRM (Trim) button
7 Green Trim Write LED
8 Bi-colour - Red/Amber Fader Cut switch
The procedure to automate fader moves is very similar
to cuts. {ABS + TRM TO FADs} must be selected on the
SELECT TO FADERS panel to assign the {ABS}
(absolute write) and {TRM} (trim) buttons to faders.
Make sure {BUTT} is the only button selected under the
central LCD.
To start at the beginning of a Title, move the highlight
to the desired Title in the ARTISTS/PROJECTS &
TITLES GUI and press {LOCATE} {TITLE}
{ENTER} on the Control Keyboard. To add fader
moves to a mix which may already have cuts written,
highlight the mix and {LOCATE} {MIX} {ENTER}.
Press the {ABS} button above the fader and its red
LED flashes indicating ‘ready’ status. To record fader
moves from the very start, press the WRITE button in
the fader knob and the LED goes on solid. Then roll
the tape. To record moves some way into the Title,
roll the tape before pressing WRITE. To stop moves
being recorded, press WRITE again and the {ABS}
LED flashes. If the moves are over just part of the
Title, then the exact position at the drop-in point is
assumed to the beginning. Exactly the same fader
level will also be applied to the end of the Title from
the automation drop-out point. From then on, the fader
will snap back for the duration of the whole Title. To
take the setting after the last move to the end of the
Title, select {TO END} under the central LCD.
To revise any moves, just roll back and play again.
The moves from the previous pass will be displayed
until the WRITE button is pressed once more. The
motorised fader will reflect previous moves unless the
fader knob is touched. Even when it is touched, the
previous moves will still be heard until WRITE is
pressed, when the absolute fader positions and moves
will be heard as well as recorded.
Press {ABS} again when recording moves for a fader is
finished, to make it ‘safe’. (It is also possible to press
{ABS} to drop out whilst the tape is rolling).
To record moves with TOUCH WRITE, select
{TOUCH WRITE} beneath the central LCD and then, if
Ready {ABS} is selected, just touching the fader knob
will write moves. In the event of a mistake, just roll
back and try again. The WRITE button in the fader
knob is still operational in TOUCH WRITE.
