System 5 Digital Audio Mixing System Operation Manual
The Glide key in the center section Automation Panel can also be used to toggle the
fader's status:
1. Press the Glide key so it illuminates.
2. Press the Chan Select key.
ATO
ATO is independent of the fader's Auto/Manual Glide status. ATO can be set "on the
fly" to override either Auto or Manual Glide:
1.
While holding the fader, press its Select/Punch key.
The red automation LED blinks rapidly.
2. Move the fader until its level intersects with that of the underlying automation.
The fader automatically punches out.
The ATO status is not sticky: the current Auto/Manual Glide setting resumes control
during the next automation record session.
NOTE: The screen above the Strip indicates the Glide status for the knobs only, not
the fader.

Knob Glide Modes
Since knobs are not touch sensitive, they cannot automatically punch out when released
like faders. Knobs, therefore, do not have an Auto Glide setting and use Manual Glide
and ATO as their inter-cancelling modes.
Manual Glide functions the same way for knobs as faders: after manually punching out
with the knob's Select/Punch or All Match key, the control uses the time set in the
M/Glide field in the Automation Panel Page 1 to glide from the setting at the punch-out
point to the underlying automation.
Toggling ATO and Manual Glide
To toggle the knob's ATO/Manual Glide status:
1.
Press and hold down the Wave key.
2.
Press the knob's Select/Punch key once.
3.
Release both keys.
The screen above the Strip indicates either ATO or Manual Glide status for the knobs
only, not the fader.
