Using Write
Write mode is used to write initial fader levels or overwrite those already written. When in
Write, the actual level of the fader is written to data.
Enter Write and Leave Write are transition modes that allow you to enter and leave the
Write mode seamlessly. Enter Write and Leave Write are described later in this section.
You can go to Update mode from Write without matching the fader to the level in data.
When the transition to Update is made, the fader level is offset to match the previous
Write level. From Update, press
Update
to go to Leave Update.
5.10.6 Leave Write
Leave Write is a transition mode that provides a means of matching a fader’s knob
position to its level in data then seamlessly exiting Write mode.
While in Leave Write, the path’s module Status LEDs sequence to indicate the direction
that the fader must be moved to match levels. When the match point is reached, the
fader automatically drops into Read mode.
If Auto Glide is On, entering Leave Write will cause the faders write level to start fading
toward its level in data. When the two levels match, the fader automatically drops into
Read mode.
• To execute Leave Write from Write or Offset Write:
Press
Write
. Pressing
Auto
while the path is in Write will put the path in Leave Write, regardless of what Auto
button style is in use.
• Mode Indication:

LED = Flash,
