5 AUTO TOUCH PLUS DYNAMIC AUTOMATION
5.1 Basics
Since SW V4.2, the AutoTouchPlus dynamic automation (up to then used on
the larger Vista consoles only) was made available for Vista 5 M3 as well,
making it even more versatile.
Dongle In order to activate the hardware keys described below, a dongle is required.
It is plugged into the CUSTOM PANEL GPIO socket at the rear of the desk (32-
fader version shown):

System Start Depending on the desired operating mode (static, i.e. snapshot automation,
or dynamic, i.e. with AutoTouchPlus dynamic automation), start the system
using one of the two GC screen icons.
Note Static (snapshot) and dynamic automation cannot be used at the same time.
If Virtual Vista (chapter 2.11) is used for controlling the DSP core in parallel
with the desk, it always starts in the same mode – static or dynamic – as the
console was started in. In dynamic mode, however, operation is much more
convenient with the touch-sensitive desk controls. In dynamic mode, Virtual
Vista has a limited range of applications, such as entering and editing labels.
