Arming and Disarming Channels and Objects
fader by touching it again, or you can disarm other individual objects by pressing the associated switch a second
time or by moving the associated knob counterclockwise.
• To begin writing a fader position as soon as tape begins rolling, simply arm it and then turn off
READY SETUP by touching the button so that it changes from orange to dark gray. Then hold the fader at the
desired position (while holding it, the fader object will change from yellow to red in the Channel window) and
start the tape. As soon as timecode begins running, the data will be written. To drop out of recording, simply let
go of the fader. If you are in RAMP mode, it will glide to the next written fader position at the defined glide
time.
• Alternatively, you can arm a fader by touching it (with the READY SETUP button lit orange); its
channel WRITE button will begin blinking. Then turn off READY SETUP by touching the button so that it
changes from orange to dark gray. Then press that channel's WRITE button so that it lights steadily (an indica-
tion that armed objects — in this case, the fader, which will change color from yellow to red in the Channel
window — are being written). The new fader position will be written from the moment timecode begins run-
ning.
• A similar technique allows you to prearm any object or objects in any channel for immediate writing
as soon as timecode begins running. Touch the READY SETUP button at the top of the touchscreen so that it
turns orange and then press the switch(es) you wish to arm or turn the knob(s) you wish to arm clockwise; the
WRITE button will begin blinking. Then turn off READY SETUP by touching the button so that it changes
from orange to dark gray. If you then press that channel's WRITE button so that it lights steadily (the selected
object[s] will change color from yellow to red in the Channel window), their new on-off status or knob position
will be written from the moment timecode begins running.
• Another important function allows all faders, pans, bus assignments, cuts, Aux on-off switches, Aux
send levels, dynamics processing, or equalization for all channels to be globally armed. To do so, touch the
READY SETUP button at the top of the touchscreen so that it turns orange and then touch the OPTIONS
button to its immediate right. A dropdown menu will appear, allowing you to select any of the above; once a
selection is made, all WRITE buttons for all channels will begin blinking. (See Figure 2)
