AUTOMATION 283
Automation
Samplitude provides lots of comprehensive automation possibilities at master, track and
object level. You can enter automation movements at track and master level in realtime or
draw them manually in the automation track. The created automation data are visible as
controller movements in the corresponding bus or as a curve in the automation track. An
unlimited number of automation curves are available on each track. The volume automation
curve is set to +0dB in the middle of the track. Upper track edge corresponds to +6 dB.
In the "Automation" menu or in the track editor, select the corresponding button by clicking
to determine whether track or object automation should be displayed.
The "Automation" menu or right clicking on the automation button in the track editor also
allow automation parameters to be selected, which can be operated with the automation
controls in the track editor. Alternatively, you can draw in the curve of the selected
parameter using the pencil tool in "Draw automation" mode.
The following dynamics automation settings are available at track level: volume, panorama,
AUX sends, EQs, and plug-in control elements.
At object level, you can automate the volume, AUX sends, and VST plug-ins.
Volume, panorama, EQs, VST plug-ins, and MIDI controllers may be automated on the
master level
Track automation - Basic approach
1. Select the recording mode for creating automation curves for the individual channels.
You can select either "Touch", "Latch", "Overwrite", and "Trim" mode for recording.
"Overwrite" mode only applies to the last-activated automation curve, and "Trim" mode is
intended for volume automation.
2. If you want to automate a plug-in's control element, click on the corresponding function
button in the plug-in dialog. You can also select the parameter to be controlled by right
clicking the automation display in the track editor.
