When the first Static object is changed within a Mix Pass, the
STATIC
key
illuminates. As mentioned above, this indicates that there is data in the
Static Data Buffer. The values in the Static Data Buffer will be retained
and the button will remain lit until one of two things occur:
• A new Mix Pass is created;
• The
STATIC
key is pressed.
Note: Static values can only be cleared on a global basis and cannot be cleared
individually.
When a new Mix Pass is created, the current Static values are written to
the new pass and the Static Data Buffer clears. When the Static Data
Buffer is cleared with the
STATIC
key, the temporary Static values are
erased and the Static values stored in the current pass (Active Pass) are re-
stored. In either case the
STATIC
key goes out.
Note: Static objects are new in V3.0.
< Option> In the Automation Options... menu, item Misc (also refer to chapter
5.21.8 ), static objects can be protected under certain circumstances.
5.3.1.2 Dynamic Objects
A Dynamic object is defined as any automatable control whose value
changes at one or more timecode location within a Mix Pass. Any switch,
fader, rotary control, and some GC items (automation objects) may be
classified as a “Dynamic object”. All moves applied to a Dynamic object
are remembered by the automation and replayed at the corresponding
timecode location.
Dynamic controls may be adjusted at any time during the mix process and
recorded to a new Mix Pass using WRITE or TRIM automation modes. In
this way, the value of selected Dynamic objects is updated from pass to
pass. Dynamic controls may also be Auditioned and/or “pre-set” before a
punch-in.
All objects will remain static until a move is recorded. Once a move is
recorded, the object becomes a dynamic control. A dynamic control may
be made static by erasing all recorded moves for that control for the entire
pass.
The majority of this document discusses the automation of Dynamic con-
trols.
