Updating a Mix Pass
To update a Mix Pass, select the desired Mix Pass from the list on the List Mix menu by turning the left D-Pot and
press the D-Pot switch. 'Updating Mix Pass' will be displayed and the selected mix will now be the reference mix.
Selecting Protection
There are 3 different protection modes when automation data has been written; Auto, Safe and Manual.
Auto - If moves need to be rewritten from scratch, then the faders can be dropped into write by pressing the auto
switch similar to setting up for a new mix. Otherwise faders can be dropped into write once the mix is running,
either by switching the fader touch sensor, or the fader auto switch.
Safe - Existing fader and cut automation data can be protected via the Safe option. In Safe mode the channel
automation is replayed but no automation data can be written to these channels.
Manual - Existing automation data is protected and the fader and cut switch act directly on the channel audio. No
automation is written or played back.
Update Mode
The FSM key will toggle all faders between Absolute and Replay.

Trim
A method of updating fader data is to Trim the previous Mix Pass data. Trim mode originates from VCA (non-
moving fader) automation systems and uses the fader to add or subtract level from the existing moves. It achieved
this by setting up a 'null' fader position and then any subsequent moves trim the existing data by the amount of
positive or negative change from the null point. Trim is useful, for example, when you have a complex automated
vocal line which needs raising by 2dB. Rather than trying to re-write the complex moves, simply rollback, hit Trim
and move the fader by +2dB. Locate to the end of the vocal line that needs this level increase, and press the End
soft key to commit the trim to a Mix Pass.
The Trim mode is enabled by pressing the Trim key. Once active, faders can write in Trim, at anytime except
during the first pass of a new mix, during Mix Running or in Mix Review. Trim is indicated by the green status LED
next to the fader. When Trim is available at the start of the Mix, the FSM key will toggle all faders between Replay
and Trim.
Trim can be used with the fader motors On or Off. If the motors are On, the null point will be the fader position
prior to selecting the trim auto switch or touching the fader. If the motors are Off, the fader can be positioned at a
