Move controls to their starting values
This can be done at any time before the system is put into Play. There are a several ways in which this can be
done and any combination can be used.
Initially, controls will have values according to either the last Desk Setup that was loaded or the last Mix/Pass
that was used.
Controls can reset using the Reset Wizard in Defaults Manager, have settings applied using a Snapshot or be
reset using the CLEAR key. Also, loading a Desk Setup will restore the control settings stored by the Desk Setup.
When controls have been set automatically, make manual adjustments to controls as required.
In the third case, the Safety Snapshot is taken and the Initial Snapshot is updated when good timecode is
received and the system goes into Play.
Automation modes can be changed as required while timecode is running.
-
If a control is recording, then changing its automation mode will stop it recording. For instance, switching a fader
to Trim when it is already recording in Lock Record will snap the fader back to the Play Pass position and then arm
the fader for Trim.
If AutoKeep is enabled in Automation Preferences then the Record Pass will be automatically kept to the
Mix/Pass Tree when the system drops out of Play.
The Record Pass will become the Play Pass. The new Mix/Pass numbers are shown in the Play boxes on the
Encore Screen.
Manually Keep the Record Pass
If the Keep Mode is manual then the word MANUAL will appear red on the status line of the Encore Screen to
show that there is an un-saved Record Pass.
รค Press the KEEP MIX key.
The Record Pass will be saved to the Mix/Pass Tree and will become the Play Pass. The new Mix/Pass numbers
are shown in the Play boxes on the Encore Screen.
Making further Mix/Passes
The procedure is very similar to that above, except that a New Mix does not need to be started and when the
transport is put into play, the moves made in the Mix/Pass shown in the Play/Pass counter will be played back.
Also, controls for which moves are now correct can be put into Isolate or Play to prevent their moves being
changed.
Collect Touch
Collect Touch is a function that is used to select a group of controls that are automated together, without being
affected by the standard global automation controls.
The group of controls selected for Collect Touch are in Collect Touch Scope. Setting Collect Touch Scope is the
first step in using Collect Touch.
The controls that are in Scope are then Locked into Collect Touch and their settings are altered without affecting
automation data that has been previously recorded. The settings are stored in a Collect Touch Buffer, and there
is also as second Buffer that can be used to store alternative settings for the same controls. The control settings
can be fine tuned in context using Master Touch Isolate mode - this is known as rehearsing collect touch.
When the rehearsal phase is complete, the final result is recorded to the automation system using Master Touch
Record mode.
