Controlling Pro Tools (version 4.1 or later)

How the SI-24’s controls will function

The explanation in this section will use the button names corresponding to the
included Pro Tools mode labels.

Faders 1–8

These control the faders of the area enclosed in blue within the Pro Tools Mix
window.

The target of control can be selected with [

] (Tr 1-12), [

] (Tr 13-24),

[ ] (OUTPUT), and [ ] (BUS).

STATUS buttons

These switch the status of the channel according to the selected

STATUS MODE

. The

current status is shown by the color of the buttons.

CH SELECT (Channel Select) buttons

These buttons select the target channel when you control the send levels or plug-ins.
The

[CH SELECT]

of the channel selected for operations will light.

By simultaneously pressing two or more

[CH SELECT]

buttons, you can create a

group of channels.

For details, refer to “SHORTCUT button” (p. 41).

PAN 1–8 knobs

These control the channel panning.

You can control the panning more precisely by turning

[SHORTCUT]

on (lit) and

then holding down [8] (FINE) while you turn the knobs.

STATUS MODE

[STATUS] function

[MUTE]

Switches muting on/off for each channel.

Lit red: Mute on
Dark: Mute off
Blinking red: Muted by solo

[SOLO]

Switches solo on/off for each channel.

Lit red: Solo on
Dark: Solo off

[REC/PLAY]

(Recording/Play)

Switches the record/playback status of each track.

Lit green:

The track can be played.

Lit red:

Now recording.

Blinking red:

Selected as a recording destination.

Record mode (lit red) will be selected when you press
[REC] or when you enter the auto-punch region.

[AUTOMIX]

Switches the Automix Mode status of each channel.

Lit green:

Read automix.

Lit red:

Write automix.

Blinking red:

Dark:

Automix off.

There are four automix writing

modes, as follows.

Write:

Automix will be

overwritten.

Latch:

Automix will be

overwritten from the
moment you operate
the SI-24.

Touch:

Automix will be

overwritten only while
you are operating the
SI-24.

Trim:

Fader operations will

apply a relative change,
overwriting the data.

When you are writing auto-
mix data on Latch mode or
Touch mode, it is convenient
to press

[SHIFT]

to stop the

movement of faders.

If all

[CH SELECT]

buttons are

dark, a track outside the range
being controlled by the SI-24
has been selected.
