First, set the MIDI Channel for Snapshot recall. Press 

MENU 

on the 328,

 

then scroll to 

User

Options 

and press 

ENTER

. Configure the MIDI Channel for the 328.

NOTE: If Omni Mode is enabled then the 328 will respond to Program Change
messages on all MIDI Channels.

Next, to make use of automation facilities on the 328, 

MIDI DYNAUTO

 must be enabled in the

AUTOMATION SETUP

 menu.

Press 

MENU

, then scroll to 

AUTOMATION SETUP

 and press 

ENTER

. 

MIDI DYNAUTO

 must

be enabled for the 328 to transmit or respond to any automation data.

Scroll down one page (

with your DOWN Arrow

) to the automation ‘Mode’ page. Four automation

modes are available on the 328: 

Read Only, Write Only, Read/Write, and Update

. Each

mode determines how the 328 will transmit/respond to automation data, and each has its own

applications.

Read Only Mode

When the 328 is in Read Only mode, it only responds to automation data. The 328 does not

transmit any automation data in Read Only Mode. This mode may be useful when a final
automation performance has been completed in Pro Tools, and no more automation data is to be

recorded. In this case the desk could be set to Read Only as a ‘safe’ mode, to ensure that no
further automation data is recorded over the final automation performance.
