Stop Edit Options

The Stop Edit Options page appears as follows:

Touch-pads

Each of the Touch-pads toggles between ON and OFF.

Write Fader to end of Mix. If this is set to ON, all the Faders which are in Write
mode will have their positions, at which they happen to be when the tape machine
is stopped, overwritten to the end of the Mix.

The touch-pad field automatically cancels to OFF after each Mix pass because this
facility is potentially very destructive.

Write Switches to end of Mix. If this is set to ON, all the Switches which are in
Write mode will have their settings, at which they happen to be when the tape
machine is stopped, overwritten to the end of the Mix.

The touch-pad field automatically cancels to OFF after each Mix pass because this
facility is potentially very destructive.

Update Fader to end of Mix. If this is set to ON, all the Faders which are in Armed
mode will have any offset which exists, between their positions at which they happen
to be when the tape machine is stopped and their previously recorded positions,
added to the fader movements up to the end of the Mix.
