Path Edit
Inhibit Automation
This is used to force the automation system to ignore the paths that are inhibited. No automation data is
generated by the selected paths. This can be used, for instance, to cut down the amount of automation data that
is generated when practising moves for part of a mix.
To select the inhibited paths click the Inhibit Automation tab.
Path Edit
Click on the radio button for the required path type then click the check boxes in the list for the individual
paths to be inhibited.
Clicking a path a second time will un-inhibit the path.
The automation modes of the selected paths can not be changed. This will not affect the contents of an existing
Mix/Pass, but inhibited paths will not re-play moves as they can not be put into Play.
Path Edit is used to alter the signal processing configuration of individual paths. It can also be used for Port
Routing on individual paths.
The top part of the Path Edit screen shows the current path being worked on, with the signal processing it has
assigned to it.
Below the path is a tabbed bar containing the available (un-used) processing on one tab and available I/O on
the other tab.
The processing in a path can be in any order, within certain limitations (e.g. all dynamics elements must be
together). This is because the Logic MMC is a digital system that does not have a strip with a physically fixed
order of processing. Processing is assigned as needed and in the order in which it is required.
To access Path Edit click Path Edit in the drop down Tools Menu or click the Path Edit icon.
On-Line and Off-Line operation
When Path Edit is On-Line, all changes are updated in the signal processing system as they are made on the
screen. There is a small time-lag between the change on the screen and the change showing on the console
surface. Further changes can be made while the console is allocating. A timer on the screen shows when all
changes have been completed.
When Path Edit is Off-Line, any number of changes are made in Path Edit. When the required changes have
been completed the console is updated by putting Path Edit back On-Line.
To switch between On-Line and Off-Line click the On-Line/Off-Line check box.
When On-Line, the check box is blank and the indicator is "illuminated".
