Control 24 Reference Guide124
To arm or disarm the MASTER BYPASS function:
■ While pressing OPT(ALT)/ALL, press the MAS-
TER BYPASS switch in the CHANNEL BAR.
The switch LED will either light solid, or flash,
depending on which Automation mode has
been set, and the CHANNEL BAR DISPLAY will
briefly show “MBYP ON” or “MBYP OFF”.
Automating Switched
(Discrete) Controls
Other discrete controls can also be automated.
Discrete controls include any non-fader or ro-
tary control which toggles, such as in/out and
on/off switches.
To arm or disarm discrete controls:
1 Press the global AUTO/SELECT button.
2 Press the encoder switch that controls the pa-
rameter you want to automate to enable its au-
tomation. The Channel Bar display briefly reads
“AUTO ON” or “AUTO OFF” and then returns to
what it was previously displaying.
If automation data has been previously written
and you attempt to disarm the relevant plug-in
control, the channel scribble strips will display
“Pro Tools has a Dialog on screen!” and a mes-
sage on-screen will alert you that automation
data for the control will be lost if the control is
disarmed.
Press the ENTER switch on the numeric keypad
or the RETURN key on your alpha-numeric key-
board to confirm this choice. Pressing one of the
flashing ESC/CANCEL buttons will cancel this
operation. The scribble strips will revert to their
prior behavior.
Automating Sends
Control 24 enables you to dynamically auto-
mate send levels/mutes and (stereo) send pan
using either the channel data encoders or the
channel faders in Flip mode (see “Using Flip
Mode with Sends” on page 108 for a description
of Send Flip mode).
To automate a send level:
1 Make sure that SEND LEVEL is engaged (indi-
cated by its button LED being lit) in the AUTO-
MATION/ENABLE switch section.
2 Choose an automation mode for the channel
you wish to automate by either:
• Pressing the channel’s AUTO button to step
through automation modes.
– or –
• Pressing the channel’s AUTO button, while
pressing a master AUTOMATION MODE
switch.
3 Display the SEND LEVEL control by pressing
the relevant master SEND switches (A/F-E/J). In
this mode, the encoder can be used to enter and
record send level automation data.
4 Press PLAY. Automation recording begins, and
adjustments to the data encoder knob will be re-
corded as automation data.
To automate Send Mute:
1 Make sure SEND MUTE automation is en-
abled.
2 Select a SEND by pressing the relevant master
SEND switches (A/F-E/J).
3 Press the master SEND MUTE switch to place
the channel encoder switch in Send Mute mode.
