13.9 Automation Performance Utilities
13.9.1 Preview
Preview mode provides an easy method to set a parameter to the desired level without
recording the moves required to locate that level. When the Preview key is illuminated,
the first punch-in action (touching a fader or pressing the Select/Punch key) punches
that parameter into Preview mode. The parameter can then be adjusted and set to the
desired level. The next punch-in action punches that parameter into its Automation
mode at that level. Turning Preview off cancels any parameters with Preview levels.
Preview mode is activated from the center section Automation Panel (Figure 13-1).
This allows previewing the move without changing the automation mode.
Suspend Preview
Suspend Preview makes it easy to record automation without removing parameters
designated for Preview. Press the Suspend Preview 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.
Punch Preview
Press the Punch Preview key to punch in all parameters in Preview mode at their level
set when punched out in the Preview pass. Activating the Punch Preview key auto-
matically illuminates the Suspend Preview key.
