4 - Operation Automating Library Recall The DM-24 automation system is capable of including library recall events as part of an automated mix. These are treated by the automation system as Switch Events ("Writing Switch Events" on page 23). All DM-24 libraries support automated recall: • Snapshot • EQ • Comp • Gate/Expand • Effect 1 • Effect 2 Because there may be differences between control settings recalled by a library and those being played back by the automation system, below are some important things to keep in mind in order to avoid unexpected behavior. The basic rule is that a mix event (library recall or dynamic mix move) only has priority until another mix event (library recall or dynamic mix move) is played back. Writing Library Recall Events Over Existing Static Control Positions When a library recall event is written by the automation system which affects controls in Static mode, the library recall switch event becomes dynamic mix data. However, the controls themselves remain in Static mode with their Initial Status unaffected. In this case, if a dynamic mix move is written after a library recall, the control will Revert to its Initial Status, not its position after the library recall. If a library is recalled which affects controls in Static mode without the library recall event being written, the controls will update their static positions as if they had been directly adjusted. Combining Library Recall With Dynamic Mix Moves Dynamic mix moves are treated in a way similar to continuous data by the DM-24 automation system. Library recall events are instantaneous snapshots. If a library recall occurs while the automation system is reading dynamic mix moves, the affected controls will snap to the positions recalled by the library then snap to reading previous dynamic mix moves as the time code position crosses the previous data. While this can create some interesting effects when used purposely, it could take you by surprise. 34 TASCAM DM-24 Automation
