AUTOMATION

Overview

AWS consoles include a fully featured automation package, developed from SSL's renowned G and K Series Ultimation

systems, but with a feature set designed specifically for the AWS. SSL automation utilises the classic SSL look and feel,

familiar to thousands of engineers worldwide, to add dynamic fader and cut automation to the console. MTC (MIDI Time

Code) serves as the mix timeline reference together with support for MMC (MIDI Machine Control) locate commands to

follow non-play speed positional changes from the DAW. Automation Mix data is normally stored via Logictivity using the

AWS remote. Legacy systems make use of System Exclusive MIDI data transfer allows mixes to be saved to a DAW

workstation or SysEx librarian.

A-FADA Analogue Automation

A-FADA (Analogue Fader Accesses DAW Automation) is an innovative new way of combining the ease of DAW automation

with the audio qualities of analogue mixing by using DAW track automation to move the analogue faders, opening up a wide

range of possibilities for creativity and convenience in mix automation. More details can be found on page 4-6.
