Automation and Snapshot Control

Dynamic Real Time

To Write Automation on a Loaded Plug-In:

On The Console

1. Engage AUTO TOUCH.

2. Engage ALL, disengage BYPASS, and send timecode to the console –

the POSITION readout changes to show time code is being received.

3.Move a parameter or recall a patch (user or factory preset).

Subsequent edits to any recorded automation moves may be performed in the Mix Editor. Enable the channel view by clicking the Channel View button, then choose the plug-in you wish to view from the page pull-down

menu. This displays a list of available channel and plug-in automation tracks on a parameter basis.

Note: Parameters can be controlled from either the GUI plug-in graphic param- eters (using a mouse to modify the parameters) or via the VFD V-Pots and SELECT buttons (with the plug-in parameters called up on the VFD readout).

Dynamic Off-Line

To Write a Snapshot on a Loaded Plug-In:

♦Use the Event Automation Track, available under the

Window Menu as ‘Event Track’, to load plug-in user (previously stored) or factory preset patches at a specific time during automation playback.

General Note:

Plug-in settings are recalled as part of a console Snapshot, but may also be recalled as Presets (patches). If you are recalling snapshots and presets, be aware that one may override the other.
