Overview

systems, but with a feature set designed specifically for the AWS. SSL automation utilises the classic SSL look and feel,
familiar to thousands of engineers worldwide, to add dynamic fader and cut automation to the console. MTC (MIDI Time
Code) serves as the mix timeline reference together with support for MMC (MIDI Machine Control) locate commands to
follow non-play speed positional changes from the DAW. Automation Mix data is normally stored via Logictivity using the
AWS remote. Legacy systems make use of System Exclusive MIDI data transfer allows mixes to be saved to a DAW
workstation or SysEx librarian.
