In describing the behavior of each Control Mode it is assumed that the MIX
Note:
ON function is active and timecode is running. If MIX ON is not active then
all controls behave as if there were in ISOLATE mode.
The next several chapters will provide a set of basic rules for each Control
Mode. A set of conditions and options that further define the mode's op-
eration will also be provided. The most pertinent conditions and options
for each mode will be discussed, but it would be impractical to list every
permutation. Some system conditions and options will be discussed as
stand alone elements and their effects upon other areas will be noted.
READ is the data replay mode of the system. Controls in READ mode will
playback changes written in the Mix Pass.
Record Off:
• REPLAY: The control plays back the mix data to timecode.
- Static controls will be set to the value stored within the Mix Pass.
(Static values are not timecode stamped.)
- Dynamic controls will be set to their stored values and subsequent
changes will be replayed.
• AUDITION: If the control is moved or prevented from following writ-
ten changes, the audio changes to reflect the "audition" level.
- When released the control will snap back to its written value
- A new Mix Pass is not generated when controls are auditioned.
Record On:
• A control in READ cannot be placed into record.
• If touched, the control will enter AUDITION for the duration of the
touch. When released (un-touched) the control snaps back to its written
value.
• With TOUCH HOLD engaged, the control will enter AUDITION when
touched and holds the audition value when released (un-touched).
<Option> • With <Read Safe> checked on the Misc. Options page, AUDITION
mode is defeated for controls in READ and only written values will be
heard.
Changes may be made to Static controls while AutoTouch+ is in READ (or
any other mode). Changes to Static values are temporarily stored in a
global memory buffer (Static Buffer). If a new Mix Pass isn't written,
changes to Static controls will be retained in the buffer over time. For ex-
ample, a section of a song might be looped while adjustments to EQ, Pans,
and other controls are made. Changes to these Static controls will accu-
mulate in the Static buffer until a new Mix Pass is generated or the Static
Buffer is cleared. The values in the Static Buffer will saved as part of the
next Mix Pass created.
