Touch write
Overview
Touch write allows you to begin writing just by grabbing a control. This pinpoints one specific
control to write, instead of a whole group. For example, you can write just the Frequency of EQ
Band 1, instead of all Band 1's controls.
Touch is exactly like pressing the
Auto button, but only on one control at a time.
Touch works on all Pad controls and on all external faders. On Fairlight Sidecars, it works on the
Pan Controls and Mute switches as well.
Get Ready
Press the green Mixer button.
Press the
mix ON button so that it is illuminated.
Press
Enable Params and enable faders and panpots.
Signal paths must be selected before their parameters are available for touch selection. Select one
or more paths. If you are using Faders, use the Soft buttons (on a Fairlight Sidecar) or the
SELECT buttons (on a Mackie).
In this item we will deal with manual touch options. Please toggle the
AutoTouchEn soft key OFF.
Please also see How To
Automation Touch AutoEnable.
Operation
Press the touch button (labelled touch off, touch latch or touch snap), and select one of the
following:
touch off Touch Write does nothing
touch latch Touching an enabled control puts it into Write. It continues writing after you let
go, for the whole automation pass.
touch snap Touching an enabled control puts it into Write. Releasing the control puts it into
Read immediately.
Choose
latch or snap. Enabled parameters in the Pad now show a red triangle.
Touch one of the controls you have enabled. It goes into Write. (Use the OUT button or the All
Read
soft key if you wish to get controls out of write before the transport starts moving.)
Press the
Play button and touch controls to put them in and out of Write.
Touch AutoEnable
Overview
Auto Touch Enable simplifies Touch Write by enabling a path as soon as you touch one of its
controls.
So all you have to do is enable the parameters you want to write. Then put the transport in Play,
and any enabled control will go into Write as soon as you touch it.
The ultimate version of this: Enable all parameters, and then touch any control in the system to
automate it. WARNING: this is dangerous, because nothing is protected from being over-written.
