_MIMAS USER MANUAL REV4

6.4.2.1.
Synchronized memory enabled
This is default setting enabled through “Plugin and Hardware memory sync” option, and it
causes direct link between unit and plugin memory. In this case, when plugin is connected with a
hardware, all parameters including number of fast presets which unit can store (e.g. A/B) will be
synchronized. So when plugin will be disconnected (through manual toggle button hit, DAW session
close, etc.) all hardware configuration will remain unchanged.
6.4.2.2.
Synchronized memory disabled
In this case, plugin works as separate form of persistence implementation. That means if HW
unit is connected to work with the Plugin, all settings from Plugin are applied to the device (or from the
hardware to the plugin), however unit configuration will get back to previous state when Plugin will
initiate disconnection (through connection toggle button, session close etc.) . So in practice HW unit
internal memory isn’t affected by the software at all. This functionality can be useful if user needs to
switch often between different modes, for example session needs to be recalled, but unit is used during
production activities without any session loaded (then unit can be easily recalled through session load,
and when session is closed, unit will go back to the state before the recall had happened).
6.4.3.
Note about
Pro Tools “Compare” functionality
Each plugin type (e.g. _mimas) implements compare functionality which can be used to easily
compare current settings with saved state. That functionality is implemented, but there is one thing to
note:
- HW unit ID, which is selected from drop down menu during plugin connection is stored in a plugin
settings (session file or settings file), and if such ID is selected after plugin state is saved, hitting compare
button would cause disconnection, and reconnection when it is hit back again. Such behavior is
triggered by Pro Tools host implementation which doesn’t inform if plugin state is loaded via “Compare”
button, or via normal settings load. To avoid this situation, it is recommended to save preset state after
plugin is connected with the Hardware.

Automation
WesAudio devices are capable to follow any automation triggered from your DAW. Our devices
were tested against high performance peaks.
6.5.1.
Automation record
Besides normal automation feature all knobs are touch sensitive, and this brings possibility to
record automation using Hardware unit itself. Just enable automation record in your DAW and start
moving HW knobs!
