CUT Keys
The automation mode of each CUT key can be controlled individually by the CUT PLAY and CUT REC keys on
the fader strips.
The LED above the CUT key displays previously recorded cuts as they are played back.
Overview of Automation Modes
The automation modes determine whether a control will:
o
Have moves recorded
o
Have moves played back
o
Use a combination of record and play back
o
Be ignored by the automation system
Automation modes are controlled locally on the fader strips and globally by the master automation controls.
The basic automation modes are:
Isolate
The control will not have automation recorded or played back.
Lock Record
The control will replay previously recorded moves until it is touched or used. The control will then Record until
the mode is changed manually, glide is initiated or timecode stops.
Play
The control will only replay previously recorded moves.
Touch Record
The control will replay previously recorded moves until it is touched or used. The control will then Record until
it is released, at which point it will snap back to the Play Pass position and resume replay.
Auto Glide
The control will replay previously recorded moves until it is touched or used. The control will then Record until
it is released, at which point it will Glide back to the Play Pass position and resume replay. The control uses
the Auto Glide Time to match back to the Play Pass.
Faders have two additional modes which are:
Trim
The fader moves to the centre of its travel (centre trim position) and plays back by staying there. When it is
touched it starts to record moves as offsets from the Play Pass. The fader stays in record until the mode is
changed manually, glide is initiated or timecode stops.
Auto Trim
This is the same as Trim, except that when it is released the fader matches back to the Play Pass position using
the Auto Glide Time.
The term arm is used to describe the action of selecting a record mode for a control, so that it is ready to start
recording when it is touched.
