Automation lanes

MIDI tracks:

1. Existing automation (priorities are same as 2-8)

2. Volume

3. Pan

4. Automated Mute

5. Expression

6. Chorus

7. Reverb

8. Arpeggiator; first parameter to last

9. MIDI envelope selection dialog

An automatable parameter can be visible in an Automation lane, or in the parent track, but not in

both locations simultaneously. If you choose to display an envelope in an Automation lane, that

envelope will no longer be shown in the parent track, and vice versa. To open all existing

automation envelopes in separate Automation lanes, hold down the ALT key when you click the

PLUS button.

• Select. Click to select the lane and its parent track. Lanes support the same selection gestures

as tracks.

• Edit Filter. Specify which automatable track parameter to show in the Automation lane.

Parameters that are already displayed in other Automation lanes are shown in the menu, but

disabled. Note: Clip envelopes are accessed in the parent track or on individual Take lanes.

• Read Automation. Enable/disable automation playback on the lane.

• Write Automation. Enable/disable automation writing on the lane. The automation write mode

is specified in the parent track. The Write Automation button indicates the selected write mode.

• Slider. Use the slider to control the assigned parameter when writing automation. The slider

position represents the current value of the envelope.
