2- Desk Operation
ALT n-1 / PUNCH OUT
ALT n-1 selects an alternate signal to be sent to the N–1 bus (see
4.7.7.7). PUNCHes OUT of all controls of this channel (in Dynamic Automa-
tion mode, see chapter 5).
ISO / AUTO MODE
ISO :The whole channel may be filtered from snapshot recalls by pressing this
key. It is also possible to isolate only certain elements of a channel, such as
the EQ. This is done by pressing and holding the ISO key while pressing the
corresponding audio key in the central 'Channel Processing' area. Pressing
e.g. the EQ on/off key will put the whole EQ into ISOLATE mode. Touching
a rotary encoder will put just that rotary into ISOLATE mode, indicated by
a yellow 'I' or – if one of the Vistonics™ keys is selected – just by chang-
ing its color to yellow. It is also possible to e.g. open up the EQ view on the
Vistonics™ screen and select only one single parameter of the EQ to go into
ISOLATE mode. If one of the EQ parameters is isolated only, the EQ on/off
key becomes half-lit while pressing ISO. If the 'Enable Trim Mode' option
in the Static Automation Options page is active, the status of the elements
doesn't only toggle between READ and ISOLATE, but also goes to a red 'T'
(TRIM). On Vistonics™ keys this status is indicated simply by changing the
button's label color to red.
The ISO key is fully lit if the whole channel is currently isolated from snap-
shot recalls. This state is accompanied by the word ISO with solid yellow
background in the Generic Display Area.
AUTO MODE:
Dynamic Automation:
Toggles this channel through selected automation modes, such as WRITE,
TRIM, READ, and ISOLATE (selection definable in the 'Options' menu of
the AutoTouch+ panel). Acts also as the 'modifier' key to change HOLD and
TOUCH RECORD modes of this channel, depending on the options currently
set.
Static Automation:
Whole channels may be added to a snapshot filter by pressing this key. It is
also possible to isolate only certain elements of a channel, such as the EQ.
This is done by pressing and holding the AUTO MODE key while pressing the
corresponding audio key. Pressing e.g. the EQ on/off key will put the whole EQ
into ISOLATE mode. Touching a rotary encoder will put just that rotary into
ISOLATE mode, indicated by a yellow 'I' or – if one of the Vistonics keys is
selected – just by changing its color to yellow. It is also possible to e.g. open
up the EQ view on the Vistonics screen and select only one single parameter
of the EQ to go into ISOLATE. If one of the EQ parameters is isolated, but
not the whole EQ, the EQ on/off key becomes half-lit while pressing AUTO
MODE. If the 'Enable Trim Mode' option in the Static Automation Options
page is active, the status of the elements doesn't only toggle between READ
and ISOLATE, but also goes to a red 'T' (TRIM). On Vistonics keys this status
is indicated simply by changing the button's label color to red.
