5.10.7 Update
While in Update mode, the fader levels previously written in data are played back, being
raised or lowered (offset) by the amount that the fader is above or below the fader’s zero
offset (null) point. During Update, all previously written fader moves are retained, but the
relative level of those moves is changed.
Update is auto-nulling, meaning that the fader’s position at the time the path enters
Update becomes the path’s zero offset (null) point.
To execute Update mode from Read, select a module and press a Master Section
Update button. To put all paths into Update, press ALL in the Master Section, then
press the Master Section Update buttons.
If the Auto button style is set to Update, pressing Auto from Read will put the assigned
path into Update.
When any path is put into Update, Record is automatically enabled on the Automation
PC.
• Mode Indication: Write LED = Off, Update LED = On
• To go to Leave Update mode: Press UPDATE.
• To go to Offset Write mode: Press WRITE.
■ Using Update
Update mode is used to raise or lower existing moves by a relative amount. For
example, suppose that you wrote the fader levels for a vocal track that included a
number of rides to compensate for problems in the performance. If later you found that
the whole vocal track needed to be raised in the mix, you could write all of the vocal
moves over again or you could just update the existing track by a few dB.
While in Read mode, select a module and press a Master Section Update button. If you
don’t touch the fader, nothing will change. If you raise or lower the fader, the moves that
are playing back will be raised or lowered by the amount that you move the fader.
It is sometimes useful to set the fader at “0” when entering Update mode. The fader dB
scale then shows the amount that the track is raised or lowered from it’s original levels.
To match levels and exit the Update mode, use the Leave Write mode described later.
When going into Write mode from Update mode, Eagle offsets the fader level
automatically to prevent level changes at the transition point. You can then use Leave
Write to return to Read mode.
5.10.8 Leave Update
Leave Update is a transition mode that provides a means of zeroing the offset being
applied to during Update then seamlessly leaving Update mode.
While in Leave Update, the path’s module Status LEDs sequence to indicate the
direction that the fader must be moved to match levels. When the match point is
reached, the fader automatically drops into Read mode.
If Auto Glide is On, entering Leave Update will cause the offset to start fading toward
zero. When the offset is zero, the fader automatically drops into Read mode.
• To execute Leave Update from Update: Press Update. Pressing Auto while a path
is in Update will put the path into Leave Update, regardless of the Auto button style.
• Mode Indication: Write LED = Off, Update LED = Flash
• To Go Directly to Read from Leave Update: Press Update.
