AUTO is displayed in the upper left of
the display with the currently selected channel, in all
mixer displays.
No automation data will be recorded or played back
when the automation system is disabled.
AUTO STORE The AUTO STORE option enables or
disables automatic storage of mix data.
When turned on, there are two sub-options:
OVER-
WRITE
, which throws away the previous mix data, and
KEEP, which keeps the previous mix data as a backup.
KEEP CONFIRMATION When enabled, a pop-up
box will ask for confirmation before performing a
Keep operation. A Keep operation saves a copy of the
current mix, pushing older mixes “down the stack”.
If all space for mixes is is taken, the Keep operation
will delete the oldest (unprotected) mix. All mixes
saved using Keep are numerically sequenced with
highest numbers being the latest mixes.
The default value of this check box is on (keep con-
firmation is enabled).
