328XD AUTOMATION CONFIGURATION

Automation Settings on the 328XD

First, set the MIDI Channel for Snapshot recall. Press MENU on the 328, then scroll to User Options and

press ENTER. Configure the MIDI Channel for the 328XD.

NOTE:

If Omni Mode is enabled then the 328XD will respond to Program Change messages on all

MIDI Channels.

Next, to make use of automation facilities on the 328, MIDI DYNAUTO must be enabled in the

AUTOMATION SETUP menu.

Press MENU, then scroll to AUTOMATION SETUP and press ENTER. MIDI DYNAUTO must be enabled for

the 328XD to transmit or respond to any automation data.

Press the Down cursor to configure the automation mode. Four automation modes are available on the

328XD: Read Only, Write Only, Read/Write, and Update. Each mode determines how the 328XD will

transmit/respond to automation data, and each has its own applications.

328XD Automation Modes

READ ONLY

When the 328XD is in Read Only mode, it only responds to automation data and will not transmit any

automation data. This mode may be useful when a final automation performance has been completed

and no more automation data is to be recorded. In this case the desk could be set to Read Only as a

‘safe’ mode, to ensure that no further automation data is recorded over the final automation

performance.
