The grid represented in the AUTO CONFIG display is used to manually over-ride the automation's mode switching. If the displayed channel is part of a group, this is indicated in the upper right of the grid. The changes made in this grid are applied to channel and controls selected by the APPLY TO buttons at the right of the display. When a module or control is set to any mode except Auto using this display, that module or control remains in that mode until it is reset back to Auto. ALL MODULE When selected, the changes in this display are applied to a single control across all channels. For example, with ALL MODULE selected, enabling SAFE in the FADER row places all mixer faders into Safe mode. ALL CNTRLS When selected, the changes in this display are applied to all controls on the selected channel. ALL When selected, the changes in this display are applied to all controls on all channels. COPY This soft key copies the configuration of the currently-selected channel into a special clipboard where it can then be pasted to another channel. The settings made in this display are saved as part of the mix data. MODULE When selected, the changes in this display will only be applied to the specified control on the selected channel. PASTE This soft key pastes the configuration copied using the COPY soft key to the currently-selected channel. Note that there is no Undo for this operation. Channel LED Indicators Each channel has an LED indicator immediately above the fader. When automating a mix, these indicators can be used to show whether a channel is writing, reading or reverting. Use the OPTION display screen to set the function of these indicators. [. . . ] While this can create some interesting effects when used purposely, it could take you by surprise. 34 TASCAM DM-24 Automation 4 ­ Operation Automating Groups There are several considerations and possibilities when using the DM-24 automation with grouped controls: · Creating a group containing controls that do not have existing dynamic automation. · Creating a group containing controls that have existing dynamic automation. · Automation of hierarchical groups. Grouping Non-Automated Controls Create the group normally using the ST LINK/ GROUPING display. Any group slave that is removed from a group no longer follows any mix moves written by the Group Master. [. . . ]
