indicator or Send Level indicator shows the
delta values being written rather than the
absolute value.
Trim mode works with the other automa-
tion modes (Auto Read, Auto Touch, Auto
Latch, Auto Write) to affect how delta val-
ues are written to existing automation
data. When Trim mode is enabled, non-
trimmable controls behave in the same
manner as in the standard automation
modes, with the exception of Trim/Auto
Write mode, where non-trimmable con-
trols operate as in Auto Touch mode.
Trim/Auto Off
Trim/Auto Off mode turns off automation
and trimming for a track. All automation
moves are ignored during playback.
Trim/Auto Read
In Trim/Auto Read mode, Volume and
Send faders follow the previously written
automation. When one of the faders is
touched, the trim moves (delta values) are
played back, but are not written into the
automation data. This allows you to audi-
tion trim moves without affecting existing
automation.
When this mode is enabled, non-trimma-
ble controls (all controls other than track
Volume and Send Level) behave as if they
are in regular Read mode—no automation
data is written.
Trim/Auto Touch
In Trim/Auto Touch mode, when playback
begins, Volume and Send faders follow the
previously written automation. When one
of the faders is touched, real-time trim-
ming begins. Fader moves write delta val-
ues (an increase or decrease in existing au-
tomation data).
When the fader is released, trimming stops
and the fader returns to a zero delta value
and continues to follow the previously
written automation. The rate of the fader’s
return to a zero delta value is determined
by the AutoMatch Time specified in the
Automation Preferences.
When this mode is enabled, non-trimma-
ble controls (all controls other than track
Volume and Send Level) behave as if they
are in regular Auto Touch mode—they fol-
low the previously written automation un-
til touched. When they are touched, their
absolute positions are written until the
control is released or until playback stops.
Trim/Auto Latch
In Trim/Auto Latch mode, when playback
begins, Volume and Send faders follow the
previously written automation. When one
of the faders is touched, real-time trim-
ming begins. Any fader moves after trim-
ming begins increase or decrease existing
automation data accordingly. Trimming of
the touched control continues until play-
back stops.
When this mode is enabled, non-trimma-
ble controls (all controls other than track
Volume and Send Level) behave as if they
are in regular Latch mode—they follow the
previously written automation until
