Storing and Recalling Captured Automation Values
After automation values are captured, the captured state can
be stored in any of 48 available snapshot presets. These can
then be recalled to the Capture buffer, where they are avail-
able to punch.
To store a snapshot:
1 Capture the automation values you want to store. (See “Cap-
turing Automation Values” on page 133.)
2 In the Management section, press the Snap key repeatedly
until the desired snapshot preset number appears. The bottom
four Soft Keys show four snapshot presets at a time (1–4, 5–8,
etc.).
3 Hold the Soft Key that corresponds to the preset you want
save for more than one second.
The automation values currently in the Capture buffer are
stored in the preset. Any previously saved preset is overwrit-
ten.
To name a snapshot:
1 In the Management section, press the Snap key repeatedly
until the desired snapshot preset number appears.
2 Double-press the Soft Key that corresponds to the snapshot
you want to name.
3 Type the name of the snapshot and press the Soft Key that
corresponds to Enter.
To recall a snapshot:
1 In the Management section, press the Snap key repeatedly
until the desired snapshot preset number appears. The bottom
four Soft Keys show four snapshot presets at a time (1–4, 5–8,
etc.).
2 Press the Soft Key that corresponds to the snapshot preset
you want to recall. The switch flashes to indicate that the pre-
set is loaded into the Capture buffer, and available to punch.
To clear a stored snapshot:
 Hold Control+Alt+Start (Windows) or Command+Op-
tion+Control (Mac) and press the Soft Key that corresponds to
the snapshot you want to clear.
Punching Recalled Automation Values
To punch a recalled snapshot:
1 Move to a location where you want to apply the captured
automation states. You can do this during playback or while
the transport is stopped.
2 Press the Punch Capture switch in the Soft Keys section to
apply the captured automation states. The captured states are
applied to all automation types that are currently enabled in
the Automation window.

abled state.

ous values, press the Join switch in the Automation area of the
Soft Keys section.
