Realtime Rack Manual Chapter 4: Realtime Rack Application 56

Operating Mode

Realtime Rack has two switched operating modes: EDIT and SAFE.

EDIT Mode

Edit mode is typically used for setup and conﬁguration. Edit mode allows all functional-

ity, no matter how potentially destructive, to be executed.

Ideally, settings that can only be modiﬁed in Edit mode are used before a live perfor-

mance to minimize the risk of level changes, clicks/pops, or other audio artifacts that

could occur with some operations.

SAFE Mode

Speciﬁc parameters and/or functionality are inactive or disabled in Safe mode. This

mode is typically used during live performance to prevent inadvertent changes that could

signiﬁcantly impact the audio. See the table on page 57 for the speciﬁc Safe mode

constraints.

Operating Mode Display

The active Operating Mode is displayed at the far left of the Info Bar.

The appearance of each active mode is shown at right.

Note: The Info Bar is the only area within Realtime Rack where the

Operating Mode can be viewed or changed.

Changing the active operating mode

To switch the active operating mode, single click anywhere in the Operating Mode display

element at the left of the Info Bar. Execution occurs as follows:

• Edit mode to Safe mode – When EDIT mode is active, clicking the operating mode

display instantly switches Realtime Rack into Safe mode.

• Safe mode to Edit mode – When SAFE

mode is active, clicking the operating mode

area presents a conﬁrmation dialog to pre-

vent inadvertent mode switching. Click OK

in the dialog to conﬁrm the change and

enter Edit mode.
