5.11 Switch Automation
Switch automation using AutoTouchPlus is both easy to use and flexible
enough to facilitate numerous functions and modes of operation.
Real-time Switch Editing
The location of switch state changes may be edited in real-time. Adding or
deleting switch events may also be easily accomplished.
In general, the following types of switch events may be created and edited:
• Mute On/Off: Turns the channel Mute on and off
• Process In/Out: Engages and disengages the configured processes
• Process Control Switches: Performs switch functions within configured
processes
Note:
Channel Mute operates within AutoTouchPlus as a switch, but since it has
its own Status key, some Mute functions are performed differently as other
switches. These differences in operation will be noted where needed.
Other system controls that are seen by AutoTouchPlus as ‘switches’ but have
alternative means of control. These controls are discussed in detail elsewhere
in this document, but warrant mention here:
• Selectors: Choosing the routing of audio or audio processor functions
(Channel Input Selector or Filter Slope for example). See below.
• General Patch Connections: Making or breaking General Patch Connec

tions. Refer to
chapter 5.12.1
, General Patch.
• Channel Patch Direct Out Tap: Changing the location from where the
channel Direct Output is derived. Refer to
chapter 5.12.2
, Channel Patch.
• Channel Patch Meter Tap: Changing the location from where the channel
Meter feed is derived. Refer to
chapter 5.12.2
, Channel Patch.
• Channel Patch Processor Order: Changing the location of processor blocks
within the channel. Refer to
chapter 5.12.2
, Channel Patch.

• With <Read Safe> checked in the Misc Options page (refer to
chapter
5.22.7
), AUDITION mode is defeated for controls in READ and only Read
Mix values will be heard.
5.11.1 Switch Classifications
The multiple switches on the channel strip can be defined as being either
VMC oriented or control oriented. The classification of the switches (and
other controls) is determined by whether or not they are defined in VMC file.
If they are not defined by the VMC, they are control oriented by default.
• VMC-oriented controls:
By definition, the objects (controls in this case)
that appear in the VMC are audio oriented. These objects directly affect
the audio and/or its routing.
• Control-oriented controls: By definition, these controls have an operational
orientation and do not directly affect audio. These controls perform system
oriented functions.
