How The Si-24'S Controls Will Function - Roland SI-24 Owner's Manual

Controlling Pro Tools (version 4.1 or later)

How the SI-24's controls will function

The explanation in this section will use the button names corresponding to the
included Pro Tools mode labels.
Faders 1–8
These control the faders of the area enclosed in blue within the Pro Tools Mix
window.
The target of control can be selected with [
[ ] (OUTPUT), and [ ] (BUS).
STATUS buttons
These switch the status of the channel according to the selected STATUS MODE. The
current status is shown by the color of the buttons.
STATUS MODE
[MUTE]
[SOLO]
[REC/PLAY]
(Recording/Play)
[AUTOMIX]
CH SELECT (Channel Select) buttons
These buttons select the target channel when you control the send levels or plug-ins.
The [CH SELECT] of the channel selected for operations will light.
By simultaneously pressing two or more [CH SELECT] buttons, you can create a
group of channels.
For details, refer to "SHORTCUT button" (p. 41).
PAN 1–8 knobs
These control the channel panning.
You can control the panning more precisely by turning [SHORTCUT] on (lit) and
then holding down [8] (FINE) while you turn the knobs.

] (Tr 13-24),
There are four automix writing
modes, as follows.
Write: Automix will be
overwritten.
Latch: Automix will be
overwritten from the
moment you operate
the SI-24.
Touch: Automix will be
overwritten only while
you are operating the
SI-24.
Trim: Fader operations will
apply a relative change,
overwriting the data.
When you are writing auto-
mix data on Latch mode or
Touch mode, it is convenient
to press [SHIFT] to stop the
movement of faders.
If all [CH SELECT] buttons are
dark, a track outside the range
being controlled by the SI-24
has been selected.
