The first Japanese installation was in July 1985 in Sound Atelier (24 track recording studio owned by Takamitsu Miyamoto, in the west of Tokyo.) The desk was fitted with a Mastermix automation system available as an option on standard TS24s. (from LSI Issue 2)

Soundcraft TS24 automation
Soundcraft's TS24 console is to be complemented by three automation options, offering a choice of hardware and price.
The first of the three systems is Soundcraft's proprietary automation for the TS24, a conventional tape-based system which uses two tracks of the multitrack to store data. Free VCA sub-grouping is available. The system can be upgraded by future Soundcraft disc systems.
The Audio Kinetics MasterMix automation system is now available fitted to the TS24. MasterMix uses floppy-disc storage rather than tracks on the master tape. Synchronisation with the multitrack recording is achieved with SMPTE timecode.
Soundcraft says the third of its automation options will be available in mid-1985. This is a joint product of Soundcraft and George Massenburg Labs Inc. This GML automation will be based on hard disc.
