operation on that control. The audio passing through
the control reflects the previous mix moves, com-
bined with the offset created by the Trim operation.
In the case of the touch-sensitive faders, trimming
begins when a fader is touched. In the case of keys
and knobs, trimming begins when the control is
moved.
Revert Time
When a control stops trimming mix moves it
“reverts” to reading any mix data that existed before
trimming began. The previously existing data could
be a dynamic mix move or a static control position.
The amount of time it takes to move smoothly from
the end of the trimmed mix move to the previously
existing data is called the
Revert Time
.
A Revert Time is applied, even after stopping play-
back, past the point where the playhead stops, to
ensure a smooth transition between the trimmed mix
move and the control’s previous setting.
Auto Revert Choices
With
AUTO REVERT
Trim
enabled, the automation system stops writing trim-
ming mix moves automatically per control without
the need to stop trimming manually. That is, controls
stop trimming mix moves at different times, depend-
ing on when they were released (faders) or when
movement ended (keys and knobs).
In the case of the touch-sensitive faders, the revert
starts when the fader is released. In the case of keys
and soft knobs, revert starts when the Control Sense
Time Out has expired without movement of the con-
trol. Control Sense Time Out allows the control sur-
face keys and knobs to respond as if they are touch-
sensitive, even though they are not.
When a Revert occurs, the control smoothly matches
back to its previous data based on the amount of
Revert Time set. Previous data could be a control’s
Static position or a control’s Dynamic mix moves.
