API Audio 1608 Automation - Manual (Page 55)

Use LATCH to apply the position of faders, mutes, and/or inserts from the point timecode was
stopped all the way to the end. For example, the level of a track was moved to a good level at
the beginning of the vamp out of a song. With UPDATE and LATCH engaged, release the fader
once the desired level is reached. When timecode is stopped, that position will be written over all
remaining moves to the end of timecode without having to play the song past the end.
7.4 TOUCH WRITE
Use TOUCH WRITE to playback previously recorded moves up to a certain point and then start
recording in WRITE mode. For example, if you like the fader moves in the first verse of a song,
but want replace the moves in the chorus with new ones, playback the verse and touch the fader
at the start of the chorus. The verse moves will be played back and recording in WRITE mode will
start at the beginning of the chorus.
TOUCH WRITE: Faders change from UPDATE to WRITE when touched:
 Playback is exactly as if in UPDATE until a fader is touched
 When a fader is touched, the fader changes from UPDATE to WRITE
 The fader will stay in WRITE after the fader is released and recording will
continue
 Any moves will be recorded until timecode is stopped or the mode/sub-
mode is changed
 Any previously recorded moves will be erased as long as recording
continues
 TOUCH WRITE only applies to faders
 TOUCH WRITE can be used in UPDATE mode only
 TOUCH WRITE has no effect when used in Manual, Read, or WRITE modes
 When TOUCH WRITE is engaged on at least one channel:
o
The TOUCH WRITE button on the Automation Controller illuminates
o
Channels have an orange sub-mode box in the Status Page channel
grid
o
The yellow SUB-MODE LED on the fader illuminates
