Immediate Pickup
This function is useful for Large Faders when you are working with the fader motors
off, and simulates the touch sensitivity of moving faders. With IMMED PICKUP
selected, moving the fader slightly will drop it into the currently selected write mode.
Even when you are working with the motor faders on, Immediate Pickup can be used
to intuitively drop Small Faders into write.
Autotakeover
This provides an indication of the direction you must move an update fader in a write
mode, in order to return it to the null position. With the fader already in a write status,
select AUTO T/OVER and make the update. Before you finish the move, press the
fader’s status button and the status LEDs will flash to indicate the direction you need
to move the fader to return to the null point. Flashing green indicates that you should
move up, flashing red to move down. When you reach the null point, the LEDs will go
out and the fader will drop back into Replay, the movement to the null point having
been recorded as mix data. This feature will be well known to G Series users, and
provides an alternative to Snap or Autoglide (see Page 5-47), when you wish to carry
out a manually controlled (and stylish!) return to Replay.
•Note that, if Autoglide and Autotakeover are both selected, Autoglide takes
priority.
Preview
With either Use Abs or Use Trim selected this enables fader levels (only) to be
rehearsed on monitor without affecting the underlying mix data. The rehearsed levels
can then be selectively written to the mix.
Having first selected PREVIEW, press the fader status button once or twice
(depending on whether the fader is currently in Replay or Absolute/Trim), or in
Motors On touch the fader knob to select Preview Absolute or Preview Trim. A slow
flashing LED on the fader indicates the selection of a Preview status. A fader will
remain in Preview, regardless of the amount of times a section is rehearsed, until the
fader status button is pressed again to switch the fader to Absolute or Trim.
As with G Series, pressing the FSM button on the front panel will toggle all faders in a
Preview status between ‘Preview On’ and ‘Preview Off’ mode, ie. the current fader
level to monitor or the previous Mix Pass level. The Preview entry in the Fader Status
pop-up indicates ON/OFF and this is also reflected by the PREVIEW button on the
front panel – the lamp is on solid in Preview On and flashes in Preview Off.
With Preview mode selected, the first press of the JOIN button (see Page 5-19) puts
Preview faders into write; any subsequent presses cause the next intermediate rollback
point to be played out, as usual.
