Join
When the recorder stops while recording automation, the pass ends and any parameters still recording are automatically
punched out. It is useful to remember which parameters were punched in when the tape stopped so they can be punched back
in during the next pass. Join and Auto Join offer different ways to accomplish this automatically.
Press the Join key during the automation pass in which you want to remember the punched in parameters. After stopping and re-
suming recording automation, press the Join key again to punch in the automation parameters from the last pass.
Auto Join
Press the Auto Join key during the pass in which you want to remember the punched in parameters. After stopping the recorder,
rewinding, and resuming recording automation, all parameters from the last pass automatically punch in when the recorder ar-
rives at the end of the last pass.
Capture
During an automation pass, press the Capture key to store a snapshot of all parameters currently in record or preview in the Cap-
ture Buffer. If no objects are in record or preview, no action is taken and the previous Capture Buffer is maintained.
The unlabeled key above the Capture key is an additional independent Capture buffer. Activate either key to store to the desired
buffer.
Punch Capture
During an automation pass, press the Punch Capture key to punch all objects in the active Capture buffer (see above) into record at
their captured values.
Snap Mode
Snap Mode overrides the A/Glide or M/Glide times for knobs and faders set to Auto or Manual Glide by causing the knob or fader to
abruptly shift from the level at the punch-out point to the underlying automation level. Snap Mode is activated in the Automation
Panel Page 1.
Update on Locate
Update on Locate (Automation Panel Page 2) controls how automation values are derived when the recorder is relocated between play-
backs. When active, the automation values from the new location are loaded before beginning playback. Update on Locate should usu-
ally be active when automation values are stable and not being edited or recorded.
When Update on Locate is inactive, the last value used during the previous playback for that parameter is retained at the new lo-
cation prior to playback. When playback begins, the current location’s value (or the value derived from looking ahead or back) is
used. However, if the parameter is punched into record prior to beginning playback, the previous setting is used. This is useful if you
experimented with a parameter setting during the previous playback and want to use that setting to begin another section.
All Match
All Match punches out all parameters currently recording and glides/snaps them back to their underlying automation value.
Auto Match
Auto Match automatically snaps to the underlying automation when the recorder stops.
