The Select Dynamic function selects which modules within each channel write dynamic or static automation.
For example, you can emulate an analog console's automation system by writing dynamic fader and mute changes, while keeping all EQ, Compression, etc. at one static setting for the entire mix.
To reduce the amount of automation data being processed, it is best to only select dynamic automation for parameters you wish to automate against timecode. However, you might wish to use static automation mode for parameters which vary statically between different passes, as this will mean that they reset when you recall the alternate pass.
You can select dynamic or static automation for any number of parameters on any number of channels. The first time modules are selected for automation, they default to dynamic automation.
1. Press Select Dynamic (on the VAP 1 side panel) - the button flashes to show it is active.
2. Make your selections in a similar manner to Select Auto, see Selecting Channels/Modules for Automation.
Note that the Central Control Section select buttons light as follows:
- SEL button lit = static automation mode.
- SEL button off = dynamic automation mode.
Remember to use Multi, to apply selections to multiple channels, and refresh the fader SEL buttons if you are updating existing selections.
