 This allows applying a Rating to the selected region.
 This set a Media Marker with that Rating at the beginning of the region and end that rating at
the end of the region with either an OK rating marker or a rating of what was at that location
before.
 Any other rating markers in that region are deleted.
Rate Playback/Record Zone
 This allows rating a region/zone while playing it back or recording it.
 When pressing the keyboard shortcut associated to that command the corresponding rating
starts to be applied at the current cursor position and stops when the key is released.
 This therefore only works while playing back or recording AND when these commands are
given a keyboard shortcut (because we need the key up message to stop the rating process),
and this is why there is no menu for it, these commands are only available in the keyboard
shortcut editor.
The Menu “Cursor & Marks” has been split in two menus:
 “Cursor & Marks”
 “Markers”
Automation preview mode:
 New Preview button option was added next to Off-Read-Write buttons on the main
automation bar.
 In Preview mode
• We are in Read mode until a control is grabbed. This control stays at its last position
until a snapshot is validated. When stopping the playback, the snapshot dialog popup
and shows which controls have changed.
• The Snapshot range action shows which parameters have been changed since the
previous snapshot
• Optional, apply Preview feature to automated controls in Play mode only
Horus/RAVENNA PreAmps support:
 When a RAVENNA PreAmp/AD module is enabled and connected in the Pyramix Mixer the
PreAmps parameters will appear within the Pyramix Mixer.
 The Mixer PreAmps Parameters are:
• Mic or Line selector.
• Low Cut filters.
• Phase.
• 48V phantom power.
• Pad.
• Gain PreAmp button adjustment
 The Mixer PreAmps Gain can be increase using either the button itself of the keyboard
up/down arrows (for 0.5dB step precision).
 You can reset the Mixer PreAmps Gain by doing a Mouse+Double Click on the Gain button.
 For Stereo/MS strips
• PreAmps for Stereo/MS strips Gain control will display the absolute gain value
• Stereo/MS strips have their details state available through the "+" button beside
Line/Mic selection
• Gain control of Stereo/MS shows gain of each channel 8V button popup a small menu
allowing users to confirm the right choice.
 Mix PreAmps support is also available for Pyramix when running in RAVENNA ASIO.
 VCA support for PreAmps mixer grouping.
If a user wants to group Strip PreAmps controls simply add a VCA and enable the Strip group
assignation. Then by using the VCA PreAmps control the user will be able to control all
parameters of the assigned group strips.
Note: All controls will follow, but if the Gains of each strip are different we will not go below
0dB for the lowest strip PreAmp Gain if using the VCA adjustment control. In order to break
the 0dB barrier the user can use Ctrl and turn the gain down with the risk losing its gain level
balance for the other PreAmps strips which are members of the group.
Note: GPS strips do not support the PreAmps control but VCA strips do.
