Moving Fader
If the Motors menu option is set On, Moving Faders caps will start to
follow the fader’s automation data.
Non-motorized fader
For non-motorized faders, the null LEDs will begin to indicate relative
fader levels.
To engage MBR mode, either touch a moving fader’s cap or press the standard
fader’s punch (attention) key.
Moving Fader
You will notice two events. First, the fader cap will stop following the
automation data for that channel. Secondly, the fader’s null LEDs will
begin blinking at a fast rate. This signifies that fader is now in MBR
mode.
Non-motorized fader
The fader’s null LEDs will begin blinking at a fast rate. This signifies that
fader is now in MBR mode.
You now have manual control of that fader and can move it to a new position
without writing over your current automation data. The fader’s null LEDs will
continue to indicate relative VCA levels.
If you wish to abort MBR mode at this point, without following through to
write new automation data, you can do one of the following:
Moving Fader
1. If the Touch option is set ON, simply remove your finger from the moving
fader to abort MBR mode.
or…
2. Press the [ MBR ] key to deactivate it and then press the fader’s punch key
or…
3. Stop your time code source by stopping tape or stopping the VTM.
Non-motorized fader
1. Press the [ MBR ] key to deactivate it and then press the fader’s punch key
or…
2. Stop your time code source by stopping tape or stopping the VTM.
If however, you have repositioned the fader and wish to begin writing new
automation data, simply press the fader’s punch key again. At this time, the
fader’s null LEDs blink rate will revert to a medium rate indicating that the
fader is again writing automation data normally.
This concludes Exercise 1.
Each mix has a template. There are three template modes; these are Set, Iso,
and Dyn. These modes apply to all automatable blocks on the console. The
Automation Template shows you exactly what mode an object is in.

Engaging MBR mode
Aborting MBR Mode
Remember that MBR mode is
only relevant if the fader
contains previously recorded
automation data. Without
automation, the first press of
the fader’s punch (attention) key
will drop that fader immediately
into automation record.
