T ouch and Hold functions are key aspects of understanding the AutoTouch+
system. Knowledge of these functions and their permutations is essential to
the operation of the system. As with Control Modes, there are rules, condi-
tions, and options that determine the precise function of these features.
Faders and Encoders on the channel strip are touch-sensitive. Switches are
touch-sensitive in regard that touch events are recognized by the system when
a Switch is actuated.
Note
This chapter will emphasize how touch events relate to Faders and En-
coders. Switch automation information will be included, but for complete
information regarding Switch automation refer to
The activator keys for Touch and Hold functions are found in the TOUCH
/ HELD section of the AutoTouch+ Panel.
Releasing the control is registered as an 'Un-touch' event. AutoTouch+ uses
these events to trigger various operations and to toggle between states.
Switches Switches present a special case. This chapter discusses Touch and Un-touch
events as they apply to faders and encoders. Please refer to chapter 5.10 for
Switch Automation details.
Note It is important to recognize that Touch and Un-touch events are separate and
independent events and are used by AutoTouch+ in different ways. However,
Touch and Un-touch are often linked during many operations.
