Automation
Using the Pad to write Automation data
Overview
For writing automation data with the Pad, here is a check list:
Mix On must be lit (in the Mixer Megamode)
Select path(s) (the last one is shown in the Pad)
Enable at least one mix parameter (fader, mute, EQ etc)
Select Write (not Trim).
Select your On Stop setting.
Put the path into Write using the Auto Button (see Touch later).
Data is written while the transport is in play or record.
Stop writing by stopping the transport or pressing Auto.
This guide takes you through this process.
Get Ready
Press the green Mixer button.
Press the
mix ON button so that it is illuminated.
We will use Faders and Pans to illustrate writing automation data.
Press the
path button to access them.
Enable Parameter(s)
Press the Enable Params button.
In the enable layout, you choose parameters for writing automation data. When a path enters
Write (or Trim) only enabled parameters will have their values stored.
You can choose them individually, like EQ In, in groups, like EQ ALL, or choose everything with All
Params.
A second press of All Params will turn everything off.
For this How To, enable only
Fader and Pan.
If you are making a baseline pass for all paths, press
All Chans (but not for this How To).
Press
Exit to return to the Mix menu for the next item. Note that the Fader and Pan controls
have blue triangles next to them, showing that they are enabled for automation.
On Stop Setting
The ON STOP soft key controls what happens to automation values after you stop writing e.g.
when you press STOP during an automation pass. Press the soft key repeatedly to cycle through
the options:
Return the last value you wrote is ramped to the previous value of the parameter, using the
Glide Out Time (see Utils menu)
