In this case,Trim is used to offset existing moves.Action: Press the TRIM key before or after startingtime code and its indicator lights. With time coderunning, perform the desired Trim operation.Result: With the console in Trim mode, any move-ment of a control while time code is running per-forms a Trim operation on that control. The audiopassing through the control reflects the previous mixmoves, combined with the offset created by the Trimoperation.In the case of the touch-sensitive faders, trimmingbegins when a fader is touched.In the case of POD controls, trimming begins whenthe control is moved.Revert Time:When a control stops trimming mix moves it“reverts” to reading any mix data that existed beforetrimming began. The previously existing data couldbe a dynamic mix move or a static control position.The amount of time it takes to move smoothly fromthe end of the trimmed mix move to the previouslyexisting data is called the Revert Time.A Revert Time is applied, even when the time code isstopped, past the point when the time code stops, toensure a smooth transition between the trimmed mixmove and the control’s previous setting.
