Automation and Mixing
In System 5, the terms “Glide” and “Glide Modes” are analogous to the Pro Tools Touch and Latch ter-
minology.
Global Pro Tools automation modes are accessed through the CM401 EUCON Smart Keys (or Soft
Keys). From the Main Panel, select EUCON, then select SMRT. Navigate to the Automation page to ac-
cess global automation modes and assign them to EUCON Smart Keys (see the System 5 User Guide for
more information).
You can also select the automation mode for Pro Tools tracks from the console as explained below.
To select a Pro Tools automation mode for Pro Tools tracks from the console:
1 Recall the Layout containing the desired Pro Tools tracks.
2 Press the Wave key + Fader Select. The available Pro Tools track Automation modes are displayed
on-screen.
3 Use the fader to scroll through the available track Automation modes (the currently selected mode
is highlighted) such as Off, Read, and Write.
4 When asked to confirm, say Yes.
For complete information about Pro Tools automation, including other modes (such as Latch, Trim,
and how to suspend/enable automation types), see the Pro Tools Reference Guide.
