Figure 14-7 Playing a knob automation move in Write Absolute mode
Fader
During automation playback, the fader moves to reflect the recorded moves. Touching
a fader during playback punches into record again. The behavior upon releasing the fader
depends on the Glide setting (Section 14.7.1 - Fader Glide Modes).
14.6.2
Read
A control set to Read mode plays back but does not record automation.
Fader
Manually adjusting a fader in Read mode overrides the recorded automation. The manual
fader moves are audible but not recorded. Releasing the fader returns control to automation
playback.
Knob/Switch
Manually adjusting a knob or switch in Read mode during automation playback has no
effect unless:
•
the knob/switch Select/Punch key is pressed.
OR
•
Knob Pickup (page 187) or Switch Pickup (page 188) is active.
These conditions initiate the Read Suspended state: The green LED flashes rapidly
and the new knob moves or switch states are audible but not recorded. This can be an
effective method to rehearse automation without changing modes. Pressing the Select/
Punch key again returns to Read mode.
