Fill Region + Fill Start + Fill End
Fill Region is used in combination with Fill Start and Fill End to set a value for a defined region rather than throughout the mix. The
punch-out point must be within the defined region for the fill to apply.
1 Record a fader level from 00:01:00:00 to 00:02:00:00 so you can see how the new level will override an existing one.
2 Enter 00:01:00:00 into the AR/Start field and 00:02:00:00 into the AR/End field.
See “Setting Fill Start and End Times” on page 141 to see how to set the times.
3 Now activate Fill Start, Fill End and Fill Region.
4 Record new fader movements in this section and punch out at the desired level. The new level will be written from 1 to 2 minutes.
Fill Region + Fill End
1 Set the AR/End time.
See “Setting Fill Start and End Times” on page 141 to see how to set the times.
2 Activate Fill End and Fill Region. Do not activate Fill Start.
3 Punch in, adjust the control, and punch out.
The value at the punch-out time is written to the time set for AR/End.
Fill Region + Fill Start
1 Set the AR/Start time.
See “Setting Fill Start and End Times” on page 141 to see how to set the times.
2 Activate Fill Start and Fill Region. Do not activate Fill End.
3 Punch in, adjust the control and punch out.
The value at the punch-out time is written to the time set for AR/Start.
Fill to Punch
Fill to Punch and Fill Start inter-cancel; selecting one deselects the other.
Fill to Punch behaves like Fill Region except the area is not designated prior to punching in by setting AR/Start and AR/End times.
Fill to Punch writes the value at the punch-out time back to the punch-in time.
Automation Performance Utilities
Preview
Preview mode is an easy way to set a parameter to a specific level without recording the moves necessary to locate that level or
changing the automation mode. Activate the Preview key in the center section Automation Panel so it is illuminated. The first
punch-in action (i.e., touching a knob or fader, or pressing the Select/Punch key) punches that parameter into Preview mode, and
its level can be adjusted. The next punch-in action for that parameter punches it into its assigned automation mode at the level
set in Preview. Turning Preview off cancels any parameters with Preview levels.
Suspend Preview
Suspend Preview makes it easy to record automation without removing parameters designated for Preview. Press the Suspend Pre-
view key so it is illuminated to display and hear the underlying automation rather than the Preview level. The parameter will
punch in at the Preview level regardless of the state of the Suspend Preview key.
