3 - Automation overview : AUTO FILES Since this fade is written directly using the Master Fader, it is not possible to change its time value after an Auto Fade has been performed. To write an Auto Fade: 1 Press the WRITE key. 2 Hold SHIFT and press AUTO FADE at the point where you want the fade to begin. To erase an Auto Fade it is necessary to overwrite the duration of the fade manually or by using the Write To End function. TIP A linear fade is often not musically desirable. Typically in these cases you will begin the fade at a faster rate and end the fade at a slower rate. Use the Auto Fade function to perform this: • Press WRITE. • Hold SHIFT and press AUTO FADE at the point where you want the fade to begin. • Continue to hold SHIFT and press AUTO FADE again to restart the Auto Fade Time from the fader's current position. • This may be repeated as often as desired to slow down the end of an Auto Fade to a mere crawl. TOUCH function The TOUCH key allows you to simulate touch-sensitivity for the PODs , encoders or switch controls. 1 Enable the Global Write mode. 2 Press and hold the TOUCH key, and while holding down this key, move the control to start a write from the control's current value. 3 Make the mix moves (or end the write by pressing the REVERT key). Revert actions follow the settings made in the SETUP screen. AUTO FILES Figure 3.3: AUTO FILES screen Top line The word AUTO appears beside the selected channel in all mixer displays when the automation system is enabled. The word WRITE appears here solid when the mixer is ready to record either Static or Dynamic mix data. The word WRITE flashes when the automation system is actually writing mix data on the selected channel. This could be a Write or Trim operation. On the right the source of the timecode being used by the mixer and the automation system is shown. TC indicates Linear Timecode and MTC indicates MIDI Timecode with INT referring to the internal timecode generator. Below this, on the left and right, the current automation file and the highlighted automation file respectively are shown. The amount of bank memory used by the selected mix is shown. The POD 4 encoder and wheel are used to select a stored mix and the on-screen CF BANK buttons are used to select the different banks on the inserted CF card. The other on-screen buttons, etc. work in the same way as for other libraries, allowing deletion, protection, etc. of stored entries. DELETE permanently erases the contents of the highlighted mix file. CAUTION There is no undo for this operation. TASCAM DM-3200 Automation Guide 13
