Chapter 6: Channel Strip Controls 53
Automation Mode Switch
The Automation Mode switch cycles the channel through the
Pro Tools automation modes (Write, Latch, Touch, Read and
Off). The active mode is shown by the Automation Mode LED
indicators to the left of each channel’s fader. When in Off
mode, none of the indicators is lit.
The Automation Mode switch lets you cycle the channel
through Touch, Latch, and Read modes during playback, but
it prevents you from entering Write or Off mode during play-
back. To directly enter Write or Off mode during playback, use
the Automation Mode controls in the lower left and right of
the Main Unit. (See “Automation Mode Controls” on
page 66.)
You can use the Do To All and Do To Selected switches to se-
lect automation modes across multiple channels.
To select an automation mode for a channel, do one of the
following:
To cycle forward through the automation modes, press
the Automation Mode switch on the channel.
– or –
To cycle backward through the automation modes, hold
Shift and press the Automation Mode switch on the
channel.
Automation Trim Switch
The Automation Trim switch toggles the channel into the cor-
responding Trim mode for Write, Latch, Touch, and Read
modes. Active Trim mode is shown by the yellow Trim mode
LED indicator to the left of each channel’s fader. The Automa-
tion Trim switch has no effect while the channel is in Off
mode.
Fader Section
Fader
The touch-sensitive faders on D-Control channel strips con-
trol channel volume in Normal mode, and a wide range of pa-
rameters in Flip mode or the Custom Fader modes. When you
touch a fader, its channel strip display changes from track
name to track volume level (in Normal mode), or from param-
eter name to parameter value (in Flip modes or Custom Fader
modes). When you are automating a parameter on a fader,
touching the fader starts writing automation.
Automation Mode Indicators
The Automation Mode indicators, located to the left of each
channel’s fader, indicate the active automation mode.
WR (Write), TC (Touch) and LT (Latch) are red LEDs; TM
(Trim) is a yellow LED; and RD (Read) is a green LED.
When in Write mode, the Write indicator flashes at all
times.
When in Touch or Latch modes, the corresponding indica-
tor lights solid until automation writing begins.
When a track in Latch mode is primed for writing automa-
tion, its Latch mode indicator flashes.
When automation writing begins, the appropriate indicator
flashes.
If automation is turned off for the channel (Off), none of
the indicators is lit.
Group Status Indicator
The Group Status indicator (a green LED marked GRP), located
to the left of each channel’s fader, lights to indicate that the
channel is a member of an active Mix or Edit group in
Pro Tools. If the channel is a member of an inactive group, or
if groups are suspended, this indicator is off.
