7-7-6 Dropping Out of Write on Subsequent Mix Passes for Knobs
As with the faders, there are four ways to drop out of
automation write for knobs (see section 7-7-2 for more
details). The switches are just to the right of centre
beneath the central LCD.
• {BUTT}
Where a jump occurs at the drop-out point (current
default).
• {RAMP}
Where a user defined time is taken to slew to the
previous move. To adjust, click on RAMP TIME on
the Mixes & Cues page to display the dialogue box.
• {AUTO-TAKE}
Where the operator manually moves the knob to the
previous move. When the PAN button is pressed in
this mode, the knob does not drop out of write
immediately. Instead, the 6-character display above
the PAN knob indicates the direction in which to
rotate the knob. As the knob is turned, it drops back
to ready just when it matches the original position,
indicating by the appropriate changing state from
being lit solidly to flashing.
Note
Knobs other than PAN do not currently display which
direction a knob should be rotated in order to match
previous data.
• {TO END}
Where the knob position at the drop-out point is
recorded to the end of the Title.
When the moves are complete, press the PAN button
to drop out of write and the red LED flashes. Then
press {READY CANCEL} on the panel below the central
control screen to make the pan completely ‘safe’.
• {TO TOP}
To Top is a related function allowing knob position to
be recorded from any point within the Title to the
beginning, for both absolute and trim modes.
If a knob is in automation record then it is the point at
which {TO TOP} is pressed which determines the
absolute level or trim offset. If {TO TOP} is already on
then it is the point at which the knob is dropped into
record.
7-7-7 To Trim Pan Moves (or any other knob)
1
Latch the master {READY TRIM} button on the
panel below the central LCD, then press the PAN
knob and its green LED flashes indicating ready
trim. De-select {READY TRIM} or allow it to de-
select automatically when the tape is played.
2
Press the PAN knob either before or after rolling
the tape and its green LED lights solidly indicating
that any trimming moves will be recorded. Whilst
the knob is in the ready trim state, the LEDs will
indicate previous moves. The position of the knob
at the drop-in point i.e. when the knob is pressed,
becomes the null point for any trimming moves.
3
When the moves are complete, press the PAN
knob to drop back to ready indicated by the green
LED flashing again, then press {READY CANCEL}
on the panel below the central LCD to drop out
completely.
