5.8.5 Held Controls
A control that is touched with TOUCH – Hold engaged becomes a ‘held’
control. Held controls are also known as ‘Held Objects.’ Controls that are
held not only stay in their Touched mode when released, they are identified
by the system as being held.
HELD Controls Buffer As controls are placed into a held status, they are added to a list of controls
stored in the ‘Held Controls Buffer.’ The HELD – Clr button in the HELD
section of the ACU window will light if one or more control is held.
The Held Controls list is used as a filter for the HELD preselectors in the
Control Modes and Global Record sections of the ACU window.
Clearing Held Controls Clear Held Controls Buffer: Clicking the HELD – Clr button will take all
Held controls out of hold. It will also clear the list of controls in the Held
Controls Buffer.

ing ways:

Note The TOUCH – Hold button in the ACU window may be overridden by

Options page (also refer to chapter 5.22.5). Faders/Encoders and Switches
can have TOUCH – Hold set to <ON> as an default option. When using this
option, care should be taken not inadvertently place controls into Hold.
5.8.5.1 Held Plays Mix
When the HELD – Plays Mix button is engaged, all Held controls play their
Read Mix data when not in RECORD, but the controls can be set to different
physical positions.
The Read Mix data is heard, even though one or more controls are being held
in AUDITION. This allows a held control to be pre-positioned while awaiting
a punch-in. The result is true emulation of the resultant mix, while the Mix
Pass is being run.

Mix engaged, all held controls that are touched will change to AUDITION
for the duration of the touch. The AUDITION value will be heard while
the control is being touched. Upon release held controls revert to playing
the Read mix. This is useful when pre-positioning the control before the
