Automation
To start a mix, press Execute . The screen switches to show level bargraphs for the 24 channel faders and the two main
faders, (for the MIX and REC busses).
The system saves a Global Static reference mix of the fader levels and cut status at their positions when the Execute key
is pressed. This is useful because it allows you to locate before the start of the mix and recover your original levels
(i.e.reference mix). Also, if you are writing automation in a section that had no previous mix data, when you drop out of
write the faders go back to their original levels.
Mix Running
Press Play on the DAW to move forward and as soon as the Mix system has locked to the MIDI timecode (MTC), the Mix
Status display will indicate ‘ Mix Running ’. Simply move the faders and press the cut switches to write your mix automation,
and the fader moves and cut data will be recorded. The DAW may be toggled freely between Stop and Play and if Fast
Forward is used or the DAW is located forward, the automation data will be extended to the new position and returned
to play.

You can write automation to the fader for either channel path by pressing the V-pot and switching the main fader’s path
assignment. Automation can not be written on the V-pot - the path must be flipped to the fader. The bargraph colour
will change from light grey to green when the secondary path is flipped to the fader, as shown for faders 18 and 19 above:
Automation can be written on both cut switches.
