5.12 Other Automated Functions
There are several ancillary functions that may be automated. These func-
tions are described below.
5.12.1 Bus Assignments
Bus Assignments may be automated. Both “assignment” and “de-assign-
ment” operations may be stored as Static objects or recorded as Dynamic
objects.
Central Assign Unit (CAU ; D950 only ):
The CAU does not have dedicated automation controls. The current global
automation modes apply to the Bus Assignments. The
SW Pre-Selector
must be used to select global modes.
Bus Assignments follow the rules of a Press and Release or Press and Hold
switch operation. Refer to
chapter 5.10 . All Mix Pass “Write To:” and
“Extend Back To:” conditions apply, except “Write To : Punch Out.”
As with any control, changes to Bus Assignments may Auditioned.
Record a Bus Assignment: To automate a Bus Assignment, use the following procedure:
1.
Select the desired global Control Mode. Write will overwrite previous
changes, both location and connection type.
2. Select
TOUCH RECORD
.
3. Select the desired “Write To:” function.
4. D950: Select the channel to be assigned to the desired bus by either
pressing the SEL key on the channel strip or using the Channel Selector
on the CAU.
Vista: Activate BUS ASN in the Touch Screen Area below the Viston-
ics™ section.
5. D950: On the CAU, select the bus type to be assigned.
6. Press the desired bus number to make the assignment.
7. Press and Release or Press and Hold switch rules will apply depending
on how the switch is operated.
8. When timecode is stopped, a new Mix Pass will be generated.
Note: Like any other object within Au, all Bus Assignments are Static
objects until a change state is recorded in the system. Therefore, Bus As-
signments may be updated in the same manner as any other Static control.
