Automation Section
This section provides switches for controlling
how automation data is written and played
back.
Automation Mode Switches
The Write, Touch, Latch, Read, and Off switches
are used to set the Pro Tools Automation mode
for any track.
When the Meter switch is set to Auto, the Meter
LEDs for each channel display its Automation
status.
Automation Switch LEDs
The Write, Touch, Latch, and Read switch LEDs
individually light when at least one channel has
the corresponding Automation mode. The Off
switch LED flashes when no channels are set to
Write, Touch, or Latch, and at least one chan-
nel’s Automation mode is set to Off.
Multiple LEDs light when there are channels
with different Automation modes.
Suspend Switch
When enabled (flashing), automation is sus-
pended for all channels.
Modifiers Section
The Modifiers section includes four switches for
modifying commands in combination with 003
switches, keyboard shortcuts, and Right-click
commands in Pro Tools:
Shift (Add) Switch This switch lets you extend a
track selection or add to a group of selected
items.
Option/Alt (All) Switch This switch lets you ap-
ply an action or command to all tracks in a
Pro Tools session.

rarily disengage a control from grouped behav-
ior.

fine-adjust controls and automation break-
