Automation Operation
5
With all controls selected, individual controls can
be de-selected from ready by touching them one at
a time in the CHANNEL GUI. For a larger view
of the EQ section, touch the EQ section avoiding
areas where controls are placed, or touch
{CHANNEL} at the bottom left of the LCD, and then
touch {EQ/FILT}.
6
Touch {READY SETUP} to de-select it, or roll the
material when it will be de-selected automatically.
7
Press the {WRITE} buttons for individual channels
or touch {MASTER DROP IN}. All automation
ready controls, knob readouts and bars beneath
switches, in the GUI, will turn from yellow to red,
indicating automation record.
8
If a mistake is made or some changes are required
to what has just been recorded, simply wind back
the material and overwrite. After locating back,
either before or after rolling the material again,
drop into automation record by pressing individual
channel {WRITE} buttons, or touch
{MASTER DROP IN} to have all channels drop into
automation record simultaneously.
9
When 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.
Trimming Sections of Knob Moves
The trimming of sections of knobs uses the same
procedure described under ‘Trimming knob moves’. It
is described briefly as follows:
Note
Automation data must already be present ahead of any
points where TRIM operations might be performed.
1
Press {TRIM} on the panel under the TC
AUTOMATION heading above the timecode
display. The AUTO button in the middle at the top
of the GUI turns green and indicates ‘TRIM’ at the
lower left.
2
Make sure the defaults ‘BUTT’ and ‘NORMAL’
are displayed in the AUTO button. If not touch it
for a pop-down, which requires an individual
operation for each selection.
3
Touch {READY SETUP} to the right of the AUTO
button and it highlights.
4
Touch {EQ/FILT} under the ‘READY SETUP’
heading to the lower right of the GUI if not already
highlighted.
5
Touch {READY SETUP} to de-select it, or roll the
material when it will be de-selected automatically.
6
Press the {WRITE} buttons for individual channels
or touch {MASTER DROP IN} in order for any
trimming moves to be recorded by the automation
system.
7
If a mistake is made or some 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 that
this method means that trim data is being further
modified in trim mode.
• Perform trimming operations on a ‘safe’ mix in
order to redo the trim operation completely.
8
When 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.
