- With TOUCH – Record engaged, Switch Press will toggle the switch
state and punch the switch into RECORD. The switch will punch-out
when released. If its state does not match the Read Mix state, it will
toggle to match upon release.
TRIM While in TRIM previously written switch states may be edited. TRIM AUDI-
TION mode is available.
  • PressandReleaseActuation:
- Without TOUCH – Record engaged, Switch Press will toggle the
switch state and put the switch in Audition. The switch state will toggle
back at the next recorded change of state.
- With TOUCH – Record engaged, Switch Press will toggle the switch
state and punch the switch into RECORD. The switch will hold its
alternate state and stay in RECORD until the next recorded change
of state. The switch state will toggle to its Read Mix state and will
punch-out at the next recorded change of state.
  • PressandHoldActuation:
- Using Press and Hold actuation on Trim Enabled switches yields
the same results as if the switches were Write Enabled.
The Trim of a switch cannot persist past the next recorded change of state for
that switch.
ISOLATE State changes of Isolated switches are not recognized by AutoTouchPlus.
Note All Mix Pass Write To: and Extend Back To: conditions apply as appropri-
ate.
5.11.3 Switch Operation
Switches and Touch-sensitivity Switches are not ‘touch-sensitive’ in the same regard as faders or encoders.
Mere physical contact with a switch is not sufficient enough to be registered
by the system. For switches to have an effect within the system, they must
be pressed.
Unlike faders and encoders (knobs) switches are ‘touch-sensitive’ only when
engaged and disengaged. Because of this, and the toggle function of most
switches (all switches except Selectors), the automation of switch functions
differs from faders and encoders. The differences are operational mostly in
nature and will be described in this chapter.
Switch Functions Pressing a switch performs two basic functions:
  • AudioFunction:Theswitchstateistoggledtoitsalternateposition.
  • AutomationFunctions:
- Switch Press
- Switch Release
Under normal circumstances, a Switch Press produces a Touch event. How-
ever, unlike faders and encoders, switches do not produce a Un-touch event
when they are released. The Switch Press audio toggle (switch state toggle)
event may be suppressed by holding down the ISO (AUTO MODE) modifier
key when the switch is actuated.
