Collect Touch
Collect Touch is a function that is used to select a group of controls that are
automated together, without being affected by the standard global automation
controls.
The group of controls selected for Collect Touch are in Collect Touch Scope. Setting
Collect Touch Scope is the first step in using Collect Touch.
The controls that are in Scope are then Locked into Collect Touch and their settings
are altered without affecting automation data that has been previously recorded. The
settings are stored in a Collect Touch Buffer, and there is also as second Buffer that
can be used to store alternative settings for the same controls. The control settings
can be fine tuned in context using Master Touch Isolate mode - this is known as
rehearsing collect touch.
When the rehearsal phase is complete, the final result is recorded to the automation
system using Master Touch Record mode.
This can be toggled on and off as required for manual punch-in and punch-out, or the
Safety Nets can be set and used as automatic punch-in and punch-out points.
A typical use of Collect Touch is in making scene changes. The most common
example of this is a telephone conversation where the scene cuts from one
participant to the other, requiring instant changes to the dialogue to create the 'voice
down a phone-line' sound.
Using Collect Touch
The intended operation of Collect Touch is summarised in the Collect Touch
Structure diagram.
