Selecting Automation Modes - Merging Pyramix 4.3 User Manual

The Refresh Rate setting determines the rate at which the automation data is recorded. By default the
refresh rate is the same as the actual time code frame rate, e.g. 40 ms at a frame rate of 25 fps.
The possible range of the refresh rate is 10 to 100 milliseconds. Please note that your setting is
rounded to entire frames, so that the effective refresh rate will be either one, two or three times the
actual frame rate.
One reason to choose a slower setting for the refresh rate would be to save the processing power
required to calculate the automation movements in case of complex mixes.

Selecting Automation Modes

The entire mixer can be set to the same mode by right-clicking in a blank area of mixer panel (E.g.
under the bus strips) and selecting the desired mode from the popup menu. Mixer > Automation > Iso-
late.
Block, Strip, Bus or Entire Mixer
Right-clicking in a mixer channel strip function-block, e.g. as shown here in the fader area, pops up a

This contextual menu also enables the automation mode for the whole strip, one or more busses or the
