Automation; Automation Modes - Merging Pyramix 4.3 User Manual

Automation

Pyramix Virtual Studio is equipped with an extremely powerful automation system, including both
dynamic and snapshot automation of levels, pans, effects, etc.

Automation Modes

Every control in the mixer can be set to one of four dynamic automation modes. The automation mode
can be set for individual controls, for channel strips, for busses, for groups of controls or for the whole
mixer. The current mode is shown by the absence, presence and color of small indicators.
Isolate
Black triangle indicator.
The control(s) are isolated from any automation moves already recorded. Controls can be moved with-
out affecting existing automation data.
Play
Green triangle indicator.
The control(s) follow the last automation data recorded for them or maintain their default position where
no previously recorded automation data exists.
Record
Red triangle indicator.
With the transport in Play, and the Master Automation Controls in Write mode, the current state of all
controls in Record mode is recorded as automation data.
Auto-Write
No indicator.
(This is the default for all controls)
With the transport in Play, and the Master Automation Controls in Play or Write modes, the control(s)
play back previously recorded automation data. When a control is moved new automation data is writ-
ten until the control is released. Behavior when the control is released, or the transport stopped, is gov-
erned by the choices made in Automation > Automation Settings.
