Punch Preview
Press the Punch Preview key to punch in all parameters in Preview mode at their level
set when punched out in the Preview pass. Activating the Punch Preview key auto-
matically illuminates the Suspend Preview key.
Knobs and Switches
Punching in a knob or switch set to Write Absolute (or Write Trim for the knob) with
Preview On allows manual changes to the parameter but ignores underlying automation.
Pressing the Select/Punch key a second time punches in with the selected automation
mode.
This feature is useful to record an abrupt change. For example, to shift the Pan setting
from the current setting of extreme left to extreme right:
1. Activate Preview in the center section Automation Panel.
2. Select Write Absolute mode for the Pan knob on the desired Strip.
3. Press the Pan Select/Punch switch and set the control to extreme right.
4. At the appropriate point, press the Select/Punch key again and the previewed
level will be recorded from that point until Select/Punch is pressed again to
punch out.
Faders
Preview for a fader can be initiated by touching the fader or pressing the Select/Punch
key. To punch into record from Preview, press either the fader's Select/Punch key or
the All Match key in the center section.
Preview remains active after the punch out so the fader stays in manual control until
the tape stops and the pass is complete.
Preview Knobs Only
This option allows entering preview mode on the knobs only while writing moves on
the faders (see Figure 14-12).
