This chapter is an overview of the channel strip and central automation
controls other than those found in the AutoTouch+ Panel. D950 Classic
and M2 work surfaces are covered, as well as Vista.
The D950 Classic and M2 work surface automation controls are virtually
identical in function and location. However, there are some minor changes
in labels for a few controls. These will be noted as necessary.
Each channel strip has a set of automation controls. These controls are
sometimes referred to as "Local Controls." Used in conjunction with the
channel's audio controls, automation operations may be carried out with
ease. All automation functions are accessed via channel strip keys. De-
scriptions of the channel strip automation controls follow.
The channel strip automation controls can be broken down into four cate-
gories:
• General Controls and Indicators
• Fader Controls and Indicators
• Mute Controls and Indicators
• Switches and Encoders Controls and Indicators
The primary purpose of the channel strip AUTO / MODE key is to cycle
through the available AutoTouch+ Control Modes <Option>. The modes
selected will be for a set of channel controls defined by the user. Also refer
to chapter 5.7.6.
The AUTO MODE key lights if the fader is
touched or held. Pressing the key toggles
the status of the Pre-selected channel sec-
tions in the order determined by the AUTO
MODE key option setting. When held down,
this key acts as a modifier key with the fol-
lowing results while held:
- If a fader or rotary is touched, the effect of
Touch Record is inverted
- If a fader or encoder is released (un-
touched), the effect of Touch Record is in-
verted (optionally, Touch Hold can be in-
verted).
- If a switch is pressed, the function will be
punched into Record (if enabled) and not
toggled (the key acts as a Record Punch key
for that function).
- If the S/E PB key is pressed, all objects will
go to Playback.
