Snap Mode - Solid State Logic Duality SE Operator's Manual

Trim Lok (only available in 'Motors Off' mode — see below) defeats the auto nulling feature provided for the
standard Trim function, and 'locks' the null point to the position that the fader was in when Trim was first enabled
in the current Mix Pass. This enables a defined trim offset to be repeatedly punched in and out throughout subsequent
Mix Passes.
Select this function by pressing the TRIM LOK button in the 'AUTOMATION' group. When TRIM LOK is
deselected, any stored nulled points are cleared. AutoTakeover (see below) can be used when Trim Lok is active.
However Snap and Motors Off are mutually exclusive.
As an example of Trim Lok, how about bringing up the level of some of guitar licks in a track. If Trim is used in with
Snap mode, the fader can be raised and let go repeatedly, returning to the previous level. However, it is difficult to
get an identical increase in level each time, when you do this manually. If you select TRIM LOK, the reference value
will be set, and the fader will be moved to the correct raised level. Every time you press the fader status button,
the fader will jump to that level and, when pressed again, it will return to the reference value. Note that there will
be no glide times but the maximum value will be identical each time.

This mode suspends the motorised playback of mix data via the moving faders. In 'Motors Off' — select the
MOTORS OFF button in the 'AUTOMATION' group — the faders emulate a VCA automation system. MOTORS
OFF automatically activates the Fader Links SuspdAll function (see later) and can only be selected if the grouping
mode is set to VCA in SSL/Misc/Setup.
