Combining Library Recall With Dynamic Mix Moves
Dynamic mix moves are treated in a way similar to
continuous data by the SX-1 automation system.
Library recall events are instantaneous scenes. If a
library recall occurs while the automation system is
reading dynamic mix moves, the affected controls
will snap to the positions recalled by the library then
snap to reading previous dynamic mix moves as the
time code position crosses the previous data. While
this can create some interesting effects when used
purposely, it could also take you by surprise.
Automating Groups
There are several considerations and possibilities
when using the SX-1 automation with grouped con-
trols:
• Creating a group with controls that don’t have
dynamic automation.
• Creating a group with controls that have existing
dynamic automation.
• Automating the Group Master.
• Automating group slaves.
• Removing slaves from an automated group.
Grouping Non-Automated Controls
Create
the group normally using the
Groups
module on the
Channel
screen. The group master or slaves within the
group may then be automated. A Group Master may
be automated just like any other control.
Automation data is only written by the Group Master.
Any group slave that is removed from a group no
longer follows any mix moves written by the Group
Master. However, it continues to read its own mix
moves. Any group slave may be individually auto-
mated just like any other control.
Grouping Automated Controls
If a group is
created where any single control contains dynamic
data, all like controls within that group will switch to
dynamic, requiring further moves on those controls
to be dynamically written (or modified using Init
Edit) instead of being statically adjusted.
NOTE
When automating group slaves while the group master
is moving, an incorrect revert destination on the slave
control is possible. To avoid this, write dynamic moves
on slaves between occurrences of dynamic moves on
the slave’s master.
