7-7 Dynamic Automation Moves
2 READY TRIM Push-Button
{READY TRIM} works in the same way as
{READY ABSOLUTE}. It allows cuts to be set up such
that existing cuts can be modified, or additional cuts
created, without overwriting previous cut data.
3 READY CANCEL Push-Button
{READY CANCEL} takes all controls out of the 'ready'
state and returns them to a 'safe' mode.
4 GLOBAL DROP-IN Key
{GLOBAL DROP-IN} puts the cuts which are set up
'ready' into write and can be actioned either before the
tape is rolling or while it is rolling. Once
{GLOBAL DROP-IN} is selected, the cuts can be
actioned, whilst the tape is rolling. To revise any cuts,
roll the tape back and play again. The cuts will be
replayed and none will be overwritten until
{GLOBAL DROP-IN} is pressed once more.
Alternatively, an individual switch will drop into
automation record at the moment it is pressed,
changing its state at the same time.
Note:
The state of a switch can be retained when dropping in using
READY ABSOLUTE by holding its {ABS} button whilst
pressing the switch.
5 GLOBAL DROP-OUT Key
{GLOBAL DROP-OUT} causes all controls to drop out of
automation record.

been completed.
Note:
As soon as any automation has been recorded, the message
'(New) 1 DYNAMIC LAYER' is displayed on the MIXES &
CUES GUI at the top right, to indicate that unsaved
automation data is resident in the system.
UNDO and REDO functions
As passes are made by rolling forwards and back, a set
of unsaved passes is built up which is resident in the
system memory. Use {UNDO} to step backwards
through individual passes to the last SAVE command
and {REDO} to go forwards. Press {UNDO ALL} to go
all the way back in one step and {REDO ALL} to go all
the way forwards in one step.
