Auto Soft Keys

The first three soft keys in the 

Auto

menu enable the

analogue channel levels to be controlled via MIDI Volume
(CC7) messages received from a DAW or other external
MIDI controller. By creating additional MIDI tracks in the
workstation the analogue channels can be automated using
faders  in  the  DAW  layer  as  MIDI  controllers  for  the
matrix channels and writing volume automation data into
the DAW project. These soft keys are channel-specific,
affecting the channel(s) selected using the upper 

SEL

key.

Selecting 

None

disables external MIDI control, giving full control of the fader level to the desk faders.

Selecting 

Abs

disables the physical faders, giving full control of the fader level from received MIDI volume data.

Selecting 

Trim

enables simultaneous control from both the MIDI data and the physical faders, allowing the received MIDI

volume messages to trim the channel level set by the console faders in Analogue Focus mode. The last three soft keys in the

Auto

menu are functions of the A-FADA mode, where the DAW is controlled by audio tracks within the DAW.

The Automation status of each channel (

None

, 

Abs

or 

Trim

) will be stored within each TR snapshot.

These soft keys do not remain lit once they are released. Their status is indicated by the 

AUTO

LEDs in the channel meters.

See Page 45 for more details.

Selecting 

DF1

enables the A-FADA method of automation. 

DF1

stands for ‘

DAW Follow 1

’. The analogue channel faders now

follow any volume automation written on the first 16 audio tracks in the DAW you have set up on Layer 1. 

Selecting 

DF2

enables the A-FADA method of automation. 

DF2

stands for ‘

DAW Follow 2

’. The analogue channel faders now

follow any volume automation written on the first 16 audio tracks in the DAW you have set up on Layer 2.

Selecting 

Snap

restores the last known analogue channel fader positions you had set before one of the 

DF

buttons was pressed

and writes those positions into the DAW.

TR Soft Keys

The 

TR

soft keys allow Matrix’s Total Recall functions to be controlled from the console (TR is described on page 63):

Enable

enables TR for restoring snapshots.

TakeTR

takes a TR snapshot.

SetSel

sets a TR snapshot to any channels selected using the upper 

SEL

key.

SetAll

sets a TR to the whole console.

Cur:

displays the TR number which is currently selected in the 

Total Recall

tab of the Matrix Remote.

<<

selects the previous TR snapshot

>>

selects the next TR snapshot

Tip - Don’t forget to press the ENABLE button after using the << and >> buttons to show the TR snapshot.
