Operating Mode
Realtime Rack has two switched operating modes: EDIT and SAFE.
EDIT Mode
Edit mode is typically used for setup and configuration. Edit mode allows all functional-
ity, no matter how potentially destructive, to be executed.
Ideally, settings that can only be modified in Edit mode are used before a live perfor-
mance to minimize the risk of level changes, clicks/pops, or other audio artifacts that
could occur with some operations.
SAFE Mode
Specific parameters and/or functionality are inactive or disabled in Safe mode. This
mode is typically used during live performance to prevent inadvertent changes that could
significantly impact the audio. See the table on
page 57 for the specific Safe mode
constraints.
Operating Mode Display
The active Operating Mode is displayed at the far left of the Info Bar.
The appearance of each active mode is shown at right.
Note: The Info Bar is the only area within Realtime Rack where the
Operating Mode can be viewed or changed.
Changing the active operating mode
To switch the active operating mode, single click anywhere in the Operating Mode display
element at the left of the Info Bar. Execution occurs as follows:
• Edit mode to Safe mode – When EDIT mode is active, clicking the operating mode
display instantly switches Realtime Rack into Safe mode.
• Safe mode to Edit mode – When SAFE
mode is active, clicking the operating mode
area presents a confirmation dialog to pre-
vent inadvertent mode switching. Click OK
in the dialog to confirm the change and
enter Edit mode.
