5.7.1 Touch and Un-touch
Touch/Un-touch Events: Touching a Fader or Encoder is registered by the system as a “Touch”
event. Releasing the control is registered as an “Un-touch” event. Auto-
Touch+ uses these events to trigger various operations and to toggle be-
tween states.
Switches: Switches present a special case. This chapter discusses Touch and Un-
touch events as they apply to faders and encoders. Please refer to chapter
5.10 for Switch Automation details.
Note: It is important to recognize that Touch and Un-touch events are separate
and independent events and are used by AutoTouch+ in different ways.
However, Touch and Un-touch are often linked during many operations.
Examples of possible operations that can be triggered by Touch and Un-
touch events:
• Touch
- Enter the enabled mode for that control (i.e. Audition)
- Punch-in that control (i.e. Enable to Record)
• Un-touch
- Exit the enabled mode for that control (i.e. Audition)
- Punch-out that control (i.e. Record to Enable)
Touch-sensitivity is always active on the work surface, even if TOUCH
RECORD and/or TOUCH HOLD are not active. It should also be noted that
when necessary, Touch and Un-touch events can be suppressed to facilitate
specific functionality.
Basic Touch/Un-touch Events: Touch/Un-touch events can be registered without TOUCH RECORD or
TOUCH HOLD engaged. These events perform the following functions when
dynamic controls are in the Control Modes indicated:
• READ: Touch/Un-touch will toggle the control in and out of
AUDITION. The control will change from READ to AUDITION when
touched and will snap back to recorded values (READ) when released.
• WRITE ENABLE: Touch/Un-touch will toggle the control in and out of
AUDITION
• TRIM ENABLE: Touch/Un-touch will toggle the control in and out of
TRIM AUDITION
• ISOLATE: Touch/Un-touch events of Isolated controls are not recog-
nized by AutoTouch+.
<Option> • With <Read Safe> checked on the Misc Options page, AUDITION
mode is defeated for controls in READ and only Read Mix values will
be heard (also refer to chapter 5.21.8).
