Section 7 – AWSomation
Overview
AWSomation™ is a fully featured automation package, developed from SSL's renowned G and K Series
Ultimation systems, but with a feature set designed specifically for the AWS 900+. AWSomation™ utilises the
classic SSL look and feel, familiar to thousands of engineers worldwide, to add dynamic fader and cut automation
to the console. MTC (MIDI Time Code) serves as the mix timeline reference together with support for MMC (MIDI
Machine Control) locate commands to follow non-play speed positional changes from the DAW. Use of System
Exclusive MIDI data transfer allows mixes to be saved to a workstation or SysEx librarian, retaining the integrity
of the project data.
Key features
• Frame accurate fader and cut automation data
• Moving and non moving fader modes
• Trim updates
• Fader links
• Mix Pass history
• AutoTakeover

The AWS 900+ AWSomation package is a chargeable option for the AWS 900+ console. Consoles that have the
option installed will display an 'A' logo in the top corner of the TFT screen. The system uses the inboard TFT
screen to give a graphical display of all 24 channel faders and the stereo bus faders (MIX and REC busses). When
automated, the movements of the faders will be visible on screen.
Installation
An AWSomation activated version of the current AWS 900+ software must be downloaded from the SSL website
to a Mac or PC that is connected to the AWS 900+ MIDI port. Please see the documentation on the CD Rom
supplied in the AWSomation package.
