5.7.2 Editing Previously Written Switch Moves
Switch Update mode is used to write and edit individual switch moves. When in Update
mode, the On/Off state of the switch is read from data until the switch is pressed. When
pressed, the switch drops into Write and changes it’s On/Off state according to the
prevailing switch entry mode:
•
Toggle:
When the switch entry mode is set to Toggle, a switch in Update Read drops
into Write and toggles state the first time it is pressed. Further presses toggle the
switch’s state. This is most useful when writing initial switch moves.
•
Match:
When the switch entry mode is set to Match, a switch in Update Read drops
into Write but does not toggle state the first time it is pressed. Further presses toggle
the switch’s state. This is most useful when editing existing switch moves in data.
In the following example, we have written a mute and need to change where the mute
starts. The exit point of the mute is good.
1.
Cue the recorder to a point before the mute should start.
2.
Set the switches to global Switch Update mode by pressing
Automation
,
then
SWITCH
, then
UPDATE
on the console’s LCD Menu.
3.
Set the entry mode to Toggle by pressing
TOG
on the same menu.
4.
Start the recorder. At the mute’s new start point, press the path
On
switch.
The path will mute and the switch will be in Update Write mode. The On and Off
states of the switch are now being written to data.
When you have passed the old mute’s start point, stop the recorder.
The
On
switch automatically returns to Update Read mode.
In the next example, we have written a mute and need to remove it completely.
1.
Cue the recorder to a point before the beginning of the mute.
2.
Set the switches to global Switch Update mode by pressing
Automation
,
then
SWITCH
, then
UPDATE
on the console’s LCD Menu.
3.
Set the entry mode to Match by pressing
MAT
on the same menu.
4.
Start the recorder. Before the mute’s start point, press the path
On
switch.
The path will remain on, and the switch will be in Update Write mode. If the
On
switch is pressed again, the path will mute.
When you have passed the old mute on point, stop the recorder.
The
On
switch automatically returns to Update Read mode.
