7-7-4 To Automate Other Switches
This works in exactly the same way as for CUTs but
note that all switches except CUTs, which can be
assigned to Faders, must be set up using the global
{READY ABSOLUTE} and {READY TRIM} buttons
beneath the central LCD.
Other switches which can be automated currently
include:
• Channel Pan IN/OUT switches
• Multitrack Cuts
• Multitrack Pan IN/OUTs including Surround
• Multitrack Send Cuts
• Send Cuts and Pan IN/OUTs
• The 8 IN Buttons (Input Channel & Inserts panel)
• The Equaliser IN/OUTs and A/B switches
• Dynamics switches (2 state)
• MIC, M/T and LINE Input Selector switches
• Switches assigned to MIDI
Select Master {READY ABSOLUTE}
All automatable switches which are lit will go out.
Select the switches to be automated by pressing them;
they will flash indicating that they are in Ready
Absolute mode. De-select {READY ABSOLUTE} and all
switches return to their previous status.
Select {GLOBAL DROP-IN} (Control Keyboard)
This puts the switches into write and can be done
before or after the tape is rolling. Switches can be put
into write individually as they are pushed, they will
change state simultaneously. Roll the machine with its
remote and perform the switch actions.
Check which switches are being
automated
To check which switches have been set up for
automation, press master {READY ABSOLUTE} and just
those switches in ready or write will flash. When the
tape is in play, {READY ABSOLUTE} has a momentary
action.
To revise any switches
To revise any switches, roll back and play again. The
automated switch actions will be replayed. They will
illuminate amber indicating control by the automation
system.
Nothing will be overwritten until {GLOBAL DROP-IN}
is pressed once more or switches are pressed
individually when they will drop into write and change
state simultaneously.
{GLOBAL DROP-OUT} may be used to drop back to a
safe Ready state at any time.
To finish
After pressing {GLOBAL DROP-OUT} to drop all
controls out of automation record, select
{READY CANCEL} to make all switches ‘safe’.
Note
{READY CANCEL} will work only for switches in a Ready
state. Switches in automation write will not be affected.
Switching manually when automation moves
are present
Once automated switch moves are ‘safe’, the switches
can be operated manually at any time. The highest
priority is given to manual operation which, although it
will override automation, will not overwrite the
automation data.
Note
To trim automated switch actions use the procedure as
described above except substitute {READY TRIM} for
{READY ABSOLUTE}.
