Properties Inspector overview
Automation section
• Time Base. Choose one of the two options in this section to control what happens to
automation when you change the tempo:
• Musical (M:B:T). If the bus is set to the Musical time base, the automation’s M:B:T position
stays constant, and its absolute position shifts.
• Absolute. If the bus is set to the Absolute time base, its absolute position stays constant,
and its M:B:T position shifts.
• Write Mode. This drop-down menu lets you choose the automation write mode:
• Touch. Touch mode overwrites any existing automation data for the currently armed
parameter only when the parameter is moved with the mouse or a MIDI controller. Automation
writing stops when the parameter is released, and the parameter returns to any previously
automated position.
• Overwrite. Overwrite mode overwrites any existing automation data for the currently armed
parameter while the transport is rolling, even if you don’t touch the parameter.
• Latch. Latch Mode is similar to Touch mode; new automation data overwrites existing
automation data when you move a control. However, when you release the parameter, it will
remain “latched” into its current position and continue to overwrite any existing automation
data until playback stops.
Description section
• Description. Type a comment or description of the selected bus.
