Date printed: 05.08.03 SW V3.3 Desk Operation 2-31
• WRITE
Shows and records values and their movements. Depending on TOUCH
RECORD [197] and TOUCH HOLD [198] being on or off, the touched
elements will be recorded (TOUCH RECORD on) and stay in record upon
releasing the element (TOUCH HOLD on).
• TRIM
Lets all elements indicate a neutral position and applies offsets to previ-
ously recorded data, keeping all previous movements.
• ISOLATE
No changes to elements will be stored. Also no playback of dynamic or
static changes will occur.
Static Automation: Pre-selected elements may be put into READ (not fil-
tered), ISOLATE (filtered) or TRIM mode (relative corrections applied for
all following snapshot recalls, if activated in the Options page).
[198] TOUCH: RECORD
If on, an element in WRITE or TRIM will start recording as soon as it is
touched. If off, settings can be auditioned without recording them. How-
ever, in conjunction with TOUCH HOLD [198] on, elements can be left in an
auditioned value and punched-in at anytime afterwards, using PUNCH IN
[190] with an active GLOBAL RECORD: HELD [188] pre-selector key.
[199] TOUCH: HOLD
Determines whether an element should detect when the user releases it
(“un-touch”), or whether only touch is registered and un-touch is ignored.
The indication of held elements is as if they were touched (e.g., the dB
value visible in the Vistonics™ generic display area [32] (chapter 2.2.5)
when a fader is held, or underlined value display in the Vistonics™ Rotary
Control Area [30] (chapter 2.2.5).
Note: The AutoTouch+ Dynamic Automation is only looking at the current
setting of this key at the moment when an element is untouched (the mo-
ment when it is released with the finger). It is therefore possible to touch
any element, set the TOUCH HOLD key and then release the element. At the
next touch, the TOUCH HOLD key may be altered. Therefore it is possible
to have some elements held, while others are actually moving back to the
original value.
[200] HELD: PLAY MIX
If this key is active, the AutoTouch+ Dynamic Automation will always
play the recorded mix data and therefore make any audition mode inactive.
[201] HELD: CLR
Clears the “hold” status of all objects being currently in “hold” mode.
