AUTOMATION

Pressing AUTOMATION shows this screen:
Down the right are the various automation parameters that can be set. They are:
RECORD EVENTS
Allows you to choose which events will be recorded. The options are:
ALL
FX/AUX SEND
NOTE: Even though this parameter is labelled 'FX/AUX SEND, in the case where one or other (or
both) of the FX/AUX sends are configured as 'stereo' sends, the 'pan' movement of FX/AUX2 and
FX/AUX4 is recorded in the automation.
CHANNEL ON
PAN
FADER
The default is for ALL events to be recorded but this may not be appropriate in some
circumstances. For example, you may want to record a pass of CHANNEL ON switching
- to reduce the risk of accidentally catching a fader and moving it, you could set the
RECORD EVENTS to CHANNEL ON so that only this switching will be recorded.
RECORD MODE
This allows you to select from three automation record modes:
OFF
AUTO DROP
All controls will be recorded
Only FX/AUX send control movements will be recorded.
Only CHANNEL ON switching will be recorded.
Only pan control movements will be recorded.
Only fader movements will be recorded.
Automation data will not be recorded.
Because of the faders' touch sensitivity, faders will be dropped into record
as soon as they are touched (they do not have to be moved)
Other controls will be recorded into the automation data as soon as they are
moved.CHANNEL ON status will be recorded as soon as a key is pressed.
