Automation Operation
5
Then touch {READY SETUP} to de-select it, or roll
the material in which case it will be de-selected
automatically. When {READY SETUP} is off, the
{WRITE} buttons will flash regularly without the
double flash. The regular flashing indicates the
normal automation ready mode.
6
Then, whilst the material is playing, pressing any
cut button will drop it into automation record and
its {WRITE} button will light solidly. The cut will
simultaneously change state and drop into
automation record . The yellow bar beneath the
fader cut in the CHANNEL GUI will also turn red.
Pressing cuts individually drops them into
automation record one at a time.
7
If a mistake is made or some changes are required
to what has just been recorded, simply wind back
the material and overwrite by pressing the cuts
again. As soon as the material is stopped, the cuts
will drop back to their ready state. Pressing any
cut will drop it into automation record again whilst
the material is rolling forward once more.
8
If the work is complete, touch {READY SETUP} to
highlight it, and then {OPTIONS} next to it for a
pop-down. Touch {CANCEL ALL} in the pop-down
and {CLOSE} to finish with the pop-down menu.
All ready indications will cease. Finally touch
{READY SETUP} once more to turn it off. The
system is now completely ‘safe’ and automation
data cannot be overwritten.
To Automate Cuts Simultaneously
A method for dropping a number of cuts into
automation record simultaneously is to set them into a
‘CUT GROUP’:
1
Touch {AUDIO} at the bottom left of the LCD for
its pop-up and touch {FADER GROUP} to display
the AUDIO FADER/CUT GROUPING GUI.
2
Touch one of the GROUP panels to the left of the
GUI in order to set up the CUT GROUP.
3
Touch the button immediately to the right of the
GROUP # legend, to cycle through the options
until {CUT} is displayed.
4
Select the channels that are to have their cuts in the
group by touching each individual button in the
channels field occupying most of the GUI.
5
Make sure that {ON} is displayed for the group, set
by the on/off button in the GROUP # panel.
6
Use the procedure described for automating a
single cut. All automation functions carried out on
any individual cut in the group will apply to all
cuts in that group. Automation data is stored for
individual channels, which allows the CUT
GROUP to be disbanded at any time.
