Automation Operation
5
Roll the material and make any adjustments as
required. Although changes will be heard from the
underlying mix, the LED knob position indicators
will only display changes being made for the
current pass. Any knobs being automated, which
are displayed on the LCD, will indicate a
combination of the previous mix and the actions in
the current pass. The two cyan dots, above and
below the pan bar, indicate the settings for the
previous underlying mix. The bar and the position
readout indicate the result of combining the
underlying mix and the new trim operations.
This function allows relative adjustment on
previous automated moves whilst those moves are
retained exactly as they were, but at a higher or
lower level.

If a mistake is made or changes are required to
what has just been recorded, the situation may be
tackled in one of several ways:
• Press {SAFE} before pressing the p transport key
to stop the material rolling. Release {SAFE}
afterwards. In this case, the new automation data
is not stored, so rewind and start again.
• Simply wind back the material and re-trim by
touching and moving faders. But remember this
method means that trim data is being further
modified in trim mode.
• Copy the ‘safe’ mix from the ‘B’ buffer into ‘A’
in order to redo the trim operation completely. In
this case, press and hold { B } under the TC
AUTOMATION heading until it flashes, then
press { A }. A pop-up will appear requiring
confirmation before the copy operation can be
completed. Then continue to work on the restored
‘safe’ mix in the ‘A’ buffer, which stays lit.

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.
