X2 Reference Manual 83
When OVERLAY is turned on (its LED lit), Mute Groups can be recalled “on top of
one another” instead of canceling each other out. This is handy when you want to
independently yet simultaneously control the enabling of multiple groups of
channel mutes.
When the Mute Automation is recording Group Mute events, they are treated as single
events. instead of many mute events. If OVERLAY was on when you recorded Mute Group
events, make sure it is on whenever you are ONLINE (see below).
ONLINE
The term “on-line” means that the Dynamic Mute Automation system is active and
ready to control the X2. The type of reference is determine by the SYNC parameter
(see above).
Once a Sync Source has been determined and the proper connections have been
made, the ONLINE button tells the X2 to synchronize its sequencer with the
incoming sync source signal. If this is ADAT sync, the ONLINE button’s LED will
flash while waiting for sync reference. When the ADAT is put into play, the sync
information arrives at the X2 and the ONLINE button stops flashing and remains lit.
Once you are online, the Mute Automation sequencer will play back any stored
mute events in the currently selected Song, once valid time code or clock is received.
UPDATE
While online (the ONLINE button on and its LED lit, not flashing), the UPDATE
button puts the Mute Automation sequencer into “record.” When the UPDATE
button is pressed, its LED will either flash (along with the ONLINE button’s LED
indicating that no sync source is present) or will remain lit.
On order to record mute events, both the ONLINE and UPDATE buttons must be pressed
and a sync source must be present, as indicated by the fact that both the ONLINE and
UPDATE buttons’ LEDs are lit but not flashing.
In Update mode, the automation will play back any mute events previously
recorded. Presses of any MUTE buttons will be recorded in memory.
UNDO
The UNDO button is used to erase the last mute event recorded. However,
repeatedly pressing UNDO keeps “backspacing” through the mute events in the
order they were recorded. Therefore, if you accidentally recorded the mutes of five
channels because you didn’t realize the UPDATE button was on, simply stop the
tape (the one providing the sync source) and press UNDO five times.
The UNDO button does not double as a “Redo” button. Whenever the UNDO button is
used, its effect cannot be undone.
