Events and AutoTouch+:
5-24 AutoTouch+
Another crucial, but easy to understand concept is that of Touch and Un-
touch. AutoTouch+ is a very tactile system and relies on physical actions
for efficient operation. Faders and encoders are touch-sensitive and can be
made to respond in different ways depending on the mode and operation
being performed. Switches and automatable GC items are not sensitive to
physical touch, but their actuation can generate similar messages as faders
and encoders.
The physical touching of a fader or encoder produces a "Touch Event."
Actuating an automatable switch or GC item may also generate a Touch
Event, depending on the current mode.
The physical release of a fader or encoder produces an "Un-touch Event."
Automatable switches and GC items may also generate an Un-touch Event,
depending on the current mode.
In most cases, Events come in Touch and Un-touch pairs...that is a Touch
followed by an Un-touch. An example would be touching a fader, moving
it for a short period of time, and then releasing it. When the fader was first
touched, a Touch Event will be sent and when released an Un-touch will
be sent. AutoTouch+ will either use both Events, ignore both Events, or
suppress one or the other. Details of how these events are used and the op-
erations this makes possible are discussed throughout this document.
