manually disabled. This allows you to perform mix
moves at will without having to manually enable
Global Write or Global Trim on every pass.

TRIM ALL

When enabled, a Trim operation will be
applied to all mix moves such as faders (but not
switch moves) from the beginning of a mix to its end,
regardless of the transport's position within the pro-
gram.
When timecode is stopped, trimmed events are cre-
ated by using the latest trim difference (delta). When
timecode is running, pre-existing moves are not mod-
ified as automation data.
Note that if TRIM ALL is enabled, trimmed events
are not recorded, and revert is not performed while
timecode is running.

AUTO REVERT

When Auto Revert is enabled, a
control smoothly matches back to its previous setting
when you release it. When Auto Revert is disabled,
you must manually punch out of automation record-
ing by pressing the
REVERT
incoming timecode—the control will then smoothly
match back to its previous setting.
There are independent check boxes to enable Auto
Revert for Write and Trim modes.
NOTE
It is possible to enable or disable Auto Revert during a
mix pass. The new setting is applied to mix moves only.
The following describes an example:
With the WRITE indicator lit, and AUTO REVERT – WRITE
disabled, move the faders. Now enable AUTO REVERT –
WRITE, and move a different set of faders. These will
revert automatically, but the first set will continue to
write until you press REVERT.

REVERT TIMES

To the right of the
check boxes are fields to enter Revert Times. The
Revert Time is the amount of time (in seconds) it
takes for a control to smoothly match back to its pre-
vious setting. There are fields to set an independent
Revert Time for Write and Trim modes from 0.5 sec-
onds to 10 seconds in 0.5 second increments.
∞s
The setting in the Revert Time fields enables
Write/Trim To End mode, which applies a Write or
Trim operation from the point where automation
recording began, all the way to the end of the mix.
In the case of Write mode, this overwrites any exist-
ing mix data from the point where automation
recording began, all the way to the end of the mix.
In the case of Trim mode, this applies the Trim oper-
ation from the point automation recording began all
the way to the end of the mix.

Here are examples of instances where this would be
useful:
• There may be existing mix moves all the way
through a song which need to be louder from half-
way through the song until the song's end. Using
∞s
the setting in the Trim Revert Time field allows
you to perform this operation without the need to
play the song all the way to the end in order to
record the new mix data.
• There may be existing mix moves all the way
through a song, however, during the mixing pro-
cess it is determined that a control should remain at
one setting from a point within the song until the
∞s
song's end. Using the
field allows you to perform this operation
Time
without the need to play the song all the way to the
end in order to record the new mix data.
NOTE
AUTO REVERT WRITE (or TRIM) must be enabled for Write
(or Trim) To End to work.
A Write/Trim To End operation must be completed by
stopping the timecode. Manually disabling Write or
Trim mode while timecode is running will not perform a
Write To End operation.
If the REVERT TIME value is changed from the ∞ s (infinity)
setting to a non-infinite value (that is, anything else),
and a Write (or Trim) To End operation is in progress,
the controls start reverting immediately.

CONTROL SENSE TIME OUT

DM's faders are touch-sensitive, so the automation
system knows when you have touched or released a
fader, thus punching into or out of automation record.
The POD controls, control surface keys and rotary
encoders are not touch-sensitive. These controls must
detect movement in order to know when to stop
recording manual mix moves and start recording
revert moves.
The
Control Sense Time Out
trols to punch out of automation record automatically
after the specified amount of time has passed without
movement of the control. This field can be set from
0.5 seconds to 10 seconds in 0.5 second increments.
Event recording restarts if the control is moved
again.
TIP
A useful trick is to map the Auxiliary Sends to faders for
touch-sensitive control, flipping encoders if necessary.
