Automation<br />

Controls that can be Automated<br />

The following diagram shows a simplified representation of how the automation system is used for creating<br />

Mix/Passes:<br />

Start a New Mix/Pass Tree<br />

Offline Automation<br />

Mix/Passes are also created when using Encore's offline automation functions (Copy Path Data, Mix<br />

Conforming, Fader Moves List, etc.). When an offline automation function is used to make changes, a new<br />

Mix/Pass is created so that the existing Mix/Pass (i.e. source Mix/Pass) is preserved.<br />

Mix/Pass Trees and individual Mix/Passes can also be transferred to a separate computer that has Offline<br />

Encore installed on it. This allows offline automation functions to be performed without interrupting work on the<br />

Logic <strong>MMC</strong>.<br />

Controls that can be Automated<br />

All controls that can form part of a signal path can be automated (e.g. fader, cut, aux contribution levels, etc.). A<br />

notable exception to this is SOLO.<br />

Controls that are not automated include all the monitoring controls, transport controls and other miscellaneous<br />

functions.<br />

For setting automation modes, the controls in each path are split into three categories:<br />

Fader<br />

CUT key<br />

All other controls which can be automated<br />

All controls that are in automation scope can have their automation modes changed by the Master Automation<br />

Controls. In addition to this, each category of controls have keys for changing automation modes on individual<br />

paths.<br />

Fader<br />

The automation mode of each fader can be controlled individually by the PLAY, REC, TRIM and GLIDE keys on<br />

each fader strip. The fader is motorised so that it 'displays' previously recorded moves as they are played back.<br />
