Write to End When the
Infinite
checkbox is
checked (VGA), or the
Write Revert Time
is set to
Inf.
(LCD), you are essentially telling the automation
system to maintain a control’s last setting from the
point where the automation recording ends, all the
way to the end of the program. This is called Write to
End. In this case, any mix moves existing in the time
between the end of automation recording and the end
of the program will be erased.
Below is an example of a Write to End operation
over previous Dynamic fader moves:
Writing Switch Events
Switch Events are defined as the switching of any
“on/off” controls or library recall events. Examples
of such controls are
MUTE
and soft keys.
Before or after pressing
PLAY
, press
WRITE
(in the
AUTOMATION
section) so that its indicator lights.
With the SX-1 in play, press the desired key or keys
to write the switch event at the desired locations.
This works for switches such as mutes, EQ On/Off,
EQ band types, Dynamics On/Off, Dynamic Makeup
gain, Auxiliary send Pre/Post, Buss assignments, and
Library Recall. With Write or Trim mode enabled,
Moves can be made by using the mouse to click on
items in the VGA
Channel
screens, via the soft keys of
the LCD
MIXER CHANNEL
screen, or the front panel’s
keys and knobs.
Switch events can be written in Write or Trim mode
with the same results. Once a switch event has been
written to a control, the automation system automati-
cally changes that control from Static to Dynamic, in
order to read mix moves. Controls that have not had
switch events written remain in Static, even if those
controls are on the same channel as a control that has
had other mix data written to it.
Revert Time
Because switch events do not generate continuous
data like fader moves, there is no need to make a
smooth match to previous data. Consequently, adjust-
ing the Revert Time has no effect on writing switch
events. CONTROL SENSE TIME OUT & Switch
Events
The SX-1’s faders are touch-sensitive, so
the automation system knows when you have
touched or released a fader. However, keys are not
touch-sensitive. These controls simply write a switch
event (with Write or Trim mode enabled) whenever
they are pressed.
Control Sense Time Out
allows these
keys to punch out of automation writing automati-
