DAW Control
Suspending Automation
To suspend all automation writing and playback for the entire project/session, press the SUSPEND AUTO
button. The button will flash red to indicate that the suspend function is active.
Writing Automation (Write to Start, End or All)
In some DAW applications you can write automation data to the start, end or whole part of a track/selection
in any automation mode. To perform these functions from the AWS use the following:
CTRL+RTZ
CTRL+END
CTRL+SHIFT+ (END or RTZ)
Automating Switches (eg. Cuts)
As the console's CUT buttons have no touch sense, automation will start being written when the button is first pressed.
In Touch mode it will return to the underlying mix pass as soon as the DAW timeline reaches the next switch change.Thus
pressing and holding a CUT button will write data for as long as the button is held, overwriting any underlying automation.
To continue to write data until you stop select Write or Latch mode.
This also applies to plug-in buttons.
Automating Pans and Sends
As the channel V-pots have no touch sense, automation data starts being written as soon as the control is moved. In Touch
mode the system will stop writing automation and return to the previous level when you stop moving the control.
Your DAW may have a Touch-Timeout period which provides a time limit that allows for a certain time to continue writing
automation data, after which the value of the parameter returns to the value of the underlying automation pass.
Alternatively to continue to write data until you stop select Write or Latch mode.
Automating Plug-Ins
Plug-in parameters can be automated just like other V-pots and buttons. The only difference is that some DAW applications
require the controls to be armed using the on-screen menus within your DAW. Choose the automation button in the plug-
in window and enable the plug-in controls to be automated.
When automating a plug-in parameter, there is no touch sense information for the V-pot or push-push switch so in Touch
mode data will be written for as long as the control is being moved or pressed.
Using Write or Latch mode for automating plug-ins will continue writing automation data until the DAW stops.
Automation Indication for Plug-In Parameters
If a plug-in parameter is enabled for automation the red 'LED' below the on-screen V-pot will flash. When writing automation
data, the 'LED' will light continuously.
Refer to your DAW manual for more information on all aspects of its automation system
