4 – Operation : Writing Switch EventsTASCAM DM Automation Guide 23Writing Switch EventsSwitch Events are defined as the switching of any“on/off” controls. Examples of such controls areMUTE keys and the EQ ON key.Action: Press the WRITE key before or after start-ing timecode and its indicator lights. With timecoderunning, press the desired key or keys to write theswitch event at the desired timecode location.Result: This works for muting, EQ On/Off, EQband type switching, Auxiliary send Pre/Post switch-ing and Library Recall.Once a switch event has been written to a control, theautomation system automatically changes that con-trol from Static mode to Dynamic mode, in order toread mix moves.Controls that have not had switch events writtenremain in Static mode, even if those controls are onthe same channel as a control that has had other mixdata written to it.In write mode, existing events are not replayed, butin trim mode, they are played back and merged.Revert TimeBecause switch events are not continuous data likefader moves, there is no need to make a smooth tran-sition. This setting has no effect on writing switchevents.CONTROL SENSE TIME OUT & Switch EventsThe TASCAM DM’s faders are touch sensitive, sothe automation system knows when you havetouched or released a fader, thus punching into or outof automation writing.The control surface keys are not touch sensitive.These controls write a switch event when pressed,while Write or Trim mode is enabled. CONTROL SENSETIME OUT allows these keys to punch out of automa-tion writing automatically, after the specified amountof time has passed without being pressed. This fieldcan be set from 0.5 seconds to 10 seconds in 0.5 sec-ond increments.
