automation.
You can touch a control and put it into record before or after pressing play.
The rest is the same as the normal Touch modes.
Enabling Mix Items
Typically mix items are recorded a few at a time, often only one. To put a mix item into automation
record, we must first enable it, then put it into write or trim (this is just like arming tracks before
recording audio on to them.)
Enabling mix items requires enabling their parameters and their signal paths, as outlined below.
Enable Parameters
Parameters can be enabled by pressing the any of the blue oval
Param Enable
key and selecting one or
more parameters. Then press
Exit
.
Enabling Plug-ins
You can select plug-ins in the Param Enable layout described immediately above. This enables all plug-in
parameters
When you are ready to record data for a particular parameter, use Touch Write to access it (described
below).
Enable Signal Paths
Enabling signal paths for automation allows the operator to limit the range of paths on which
automation may be recorded.
To enable Signal paths:
Step 1
Press the
Mix
button to activate the Mix menu.
Step 2
Select paths on the Xynergi path keys, either using the 12-track display or pressing the
SEL
button to access more channels.
This includes Track Feeds, Live Feeds, Main Bus, Sub-Buses, Aux Buses, Multi Track Buses
(press Multi Track and use Live Feed keys).
OR
Press the Soft key on faders whose signal paths you want to enable.
This selection of enabled signal paths is also referred to as the “mix mask”.
