System 6000 Integrator

User Presets Automation
System 6000 Integrator Manual (2014-08-20) 21
Using automation
If your digital audio workstation (DAW) or non-
linear editing system (NLE) software supports
automation of plug-in data, you can use System
6000 Integrator to automate System 6000 MKII
User Preset changes.
Having your host software recall System 6000
MKII User Presets exactly when they are needed
in a project allows for very comfortable and intui-
tive automation and efficient use of your System
6000 MKII frame(s).
Plug-in automation will allow you to recall User
Presets. It is not possible to automate Factory
Preset Recall. It is also not possible to automate
Scene Recall.
Preparing your host software
and project for automation
– Refer to your DAW/NLE software’s documen-
tation to find out if it supports automation,
and if and how you need to enable plug-in
automation. All major hosts do support plug-
in data automation in their current versions.
– In your host software, open or create a proj-
ect, create or select a track and insert a Sys-
tem 6000 Integrator instance as described in
“Inserting an instance of System 6000 Inte-
grator into a project” on page 11.
– Open the System 6000 Integrator instance
and select the System 6000 MKII you want to
control from the Setup page.
– Switch to the Project page.
– Switch to the User Presets tab.
– Click the Receive button. This will transfer all
User Presets from the selected System 6000
MKII into this plug-in instance. This step en-
sures that you can later transfer these User
Presets back into your System 6000 MKII.
– If required by your host software, enable au-
tomation for plug-in controls. In Pro Tools,
you do this by opening the System 6000 In-
tegrator window and clicking the Automation
Enable button at the top of the respective
plug-in’s window. This will open a dialog that
allows you to select the plug-in parameters/
controls you want to control.

– Most DAWs and NLEs offer various auto-
mation modes that will either erase existing
automation data as new data is being re-
corded (“Write”) or add new data to existing
data (“Touch”). Refer to your host software’s
documentation to select the proper automa-
tion mode.
