Select/Punch Keys
There are several Select/Punch keys on a Strip that operate on different levels:
• At the top of the strip (see Figure 8-6), the Knobset Select/Punch key selects
or punches all knobset parameters for the currently selected function, including
knobs and switches.
• The upper switch to the left of the knob is the Select/Punch key for the On/Off
switch below it. When the transport is moving, it is the punch-in/out key for the
On/Off switch. This key is also used to select the On/Off switch for inclusion
in a Snapshot and pages to a second knob function, if it exists.
• Each knob has a center switch that punches the knob in/out during automation. It
also selects that knob for inclusion in a Snapshot. When not in automation, tap-
ping the knob switch shows the value in the display instead of the function name.
8.2.4 Touch-Sensitive Fader and Controls
Each Strip has a touch-sensitive fader that moves automatically in response to recorded
automation. When the fader is touched, the Fader touch-sensor LED lights and automat-
ically punches it into automation (the Select/Punch key also punches the fader in/out).
The Fader Automation Status LEDs show the automation mode status for the fader.
