Reference Manual

All Safe
Enables the automation All Safe mode,
where no auto data is generated. See the definition
“Safe” on page 81.
Init Edit
After dynamic automation is already
recorded, check this box to enable changing the ini-
tial value of the automation data. For example, to
change the initial start position of a fader before the
first automation move.
Write
Enables Global Write mode.
Trim
Enables Global Trim mode.
Rehearse
Enables Global Rehearse mode.
Revert All
Click to revert the most recently moved
controllers back to their original values.
Keep Mix
Press this button to save the current mix
within the project and automatically assign it an
incremented numerical designation if a mix of the
same name already exists. This is useful for creating
Mix Milestones for the ability to go back to an earlier
point in the mixing process. All mixes are stamped
with their date and time of creation for easy refer-
ence.
Fade
Click to begin an auto-fade on the Master
fader. The system must be in Global Write or Trim to
do this.
Write Auto-Revert
Enables auto-revert during
Write automation. Auto Revert causes any controls
currently Writing or Trimming to exit Write/Trim
and transition back to the setting they held prior to
the Write or Trim operation. The amount of time
taken for this transition is determined by the setting
of the Write Revert Time parameter.
Write Revert Time
Determines the amount of
time it takes, after the control is released, for a Write
move to return to its original value.
Write To End (for Write mode):
Infinite—
when this box is checked, the last value of the control
during an automation pass will be written to the end
of the project, overwriting any data already there.
This operates independently of the setting of Auto
Revert.
Trim Auto-Revert
Enables auto-revert during
Trim automation. Auto Revert causes any controls
currently Writing or Trimming to exit Write/Trim
and transition back to the setting they held prior to
the Write or Trim operation. The amount of time
taken for this transition is determined by the setting
of the Trim Revert Time parameter.
Trim Revert Time
Determines the amount of time
it takes, after the control is released, for a Trim move
to return to the track’s original value (see the Before
and After Trim diagrams).
Trim To End (for Trim Mode):
Infinite—when
this box is checked, the last Trim value of the control
during an automation pass will be written to the end
of the project. This operates independently of the set-
ting of Auto Revert.
Control Sense Timeout
In the case of non
touch-sensitive controls, revert starts when the
CONTROL SENSE TIMEOUT
has expired without move-
ment of the control. This feature allows controls to
respond as if they were touch-sensitive even though
they are not.
Control Sense Time
Adjusts the time for the
Control Sense Timeout
.
Initial Event Ramp Time
This parameter deter-
mines the transition time between a new Initial Status
and previous Dynamic data when editing the initial
status; very much like a time-reversed version of
Revert Time.
Auto Fade Time
Sets the duration of an Auto
Fade from 0.5s to 120s in 0.1 second increments.
Library Transition Time
The amount of time it
takes for controllers to move from their current state
to the new settings of a just recalled library preset.
Event Density
Determines the events per second
recorded during automation, and adjustable in single-
frame increments from 1 through 30. The more
events that are used to describe a move, the smoother
the move is.
