• Trim Touch (former Auto-Write + Update & Release)
• Trim Latch (former Auto-Write + Update & Hold)
• Record (former Record)
• Read (former Play)
• Isolate (former Isolate)
 These new modes are also available in the main Pyramix Automation Menu and set the complete
console to these modes.
 The buttons on the bottom of the strips set the mode for the whole strip. Each component can still
be changed independently.
 When changing the Automation mode of a part of the strip, the UI now shows a visual
representation when in Follow Strip Mode
The component center is colored with such Automation code.
• Isolate=Grey
• Read=Green
• Write = RED.
 A second button under the Automation mode of each Strip allows setting the Automation Release
Mode. Based on the former Automation Release Modes.
• Auto-Release
• Snap
• Write To Next
• Write to End
There are now two “levels” of automation modes in the console:
o Level 1:
 The modes as defined per Strip on the bottom of the mixer, they are Touch, Latch, Trim
Touch, Trim Latch, Record, Read, Isolate
 These modes are now also available through the contextual right-click mouse button under
Strips > Automation and simply affect the bottom buttons
 These modes do not color the mixer strips, only the buttons on the bottom of strips
 The Automation menu in Pyramix does affect these modes for the complete mixer and are
now properly renamed Console Strips Mode - XXX and Console Strips Release Mode - XXX.
They are now also properly checked to reflect the console mode when in a toolbar.
o Level 2:
 The modes available through the contextual right-click mouse button under Automation
(per component), Bus > Automation (for the whole bus), Mixer > Automation for the
whole mixer
 These modes supersede the Strips level 1 mode and they are: Follow Strip Mode, Record,
Read, Isolate.
 When in Follow Strip Mode, the level 1 Strip mode for the whole strip applies to the
component, when in Record, Read or Isolate the component ignores the Strips mode.
 These modes DO color the mixer components and overwrite any strip or bus color.
I/O section:
 The Mixer I/O section is shared with the Automation buttons section
 When collapsed the section displays the Automation Strip Automation status buttons
 When expanded the section displayed the Mixer I/O section and VCA settings
 The Direct Out controls are now only visible in the I/O section if they are enabled in the
configuration page.
Signal Flow [FL]:
• When selecting a Strip its VU-Meter turns to green and the complete signal path where the signal
is sent from that strip is also colored to green. Loops are taken into account in the signal flow
coloring
 New added Signal Flow button [FL] on the right side of the Mixer. It will colors the mixer
components background in green to show the signal flow, even when no actual signal is traversing
the mixer
 If a VCA Group is selected, all Strips in that group are used to compute the signal flow information
 If a multi-strip selection is done (see below for details) the whole selection is used to compute the
signal flow information
 If a Master fader is selected in this mode, the signal flow is colored in blue to show all strips
feeding that bus. No loops are taken into account in this case
