Switch Operation - Studer Vista 9 Operating Instructions Manual

5.10.3 Switch o­peration
Switches and To­uch-sensitivity Switches are not 'touch-sensitive' in the same regard as faders or encoders.
Switch Functio­ns Pressing a switch performs two basic functions:
Date printed: 28.0.0
- With Touch Record engaged, Switch Press will toggle the switch state
and punch the switch into RECORD. The switch will punch-out when
released. If its state does not match the Read Mix state, it will toggle
to match upon release.
TRIM While in TRIM previously written switch states may be edited. TRIM
AUDITION mode is available.
• Press and Release Actuation:
- Without Touch Record engaged, Switch Press will toggle the switch
state and put the switch in Audition. The switch state will toggle back
at the next recorded change of state.
- With Touch Record engaged, Switch Press will toggle the switch state
and punch the switch into RECORD. The switch will hold its alternate
state and stay in RECORD until the next recorded change of state. The
switch state will toggle to its Read Mix state and will punch-out at the
next recorded change of state.
• Press and Hold Actuation:
- Using Press and Hold actuation on Trim Enabled switches yields the
same results as if the switches were Write Enabled.
The Trim of a switch cannot persist past the next recorded change of state for
that switch.
ISOLATE State changes of Isolated switches are not recognized by AutoTouch+.
No­te All Mix Pass 'Write To:' and 'Extend Back To:' conditions apply as appropri-
ate.
Mere physical contact with a switch is not sufficient enough to be registered
by the system. For switches to have an effect within the system, they must be
pressed.
Unlike faders and encoders (knobs) switches are 'touch-sensitive' only when
engaged and disengaged. Because of this, and the toggle function of most
switches (all switches except Selectors), the automation of switch functions
differs from faders and encoders. The differences are operational mostly in
nature and will be described in this chapter.
• Audio Function: The switch state is toggled to its alternate position.
• Automation Functions:
- Switch Press
- Switch Release
Under normal circumstances, a Switch Press produces a Touch event. How-
ever, unlike faders and encoders, switches do not produce a Un-touch event
when they are released. The Switch Press audio toggle (switch state toggle)
event may be suppressed by holding down the AUTO MODE modifier key when
the switch is actuated.
