AUTOMATION 285
Touch mode
In "Touch" mode, automation data is only recorded as long as you touch the selected
control element with the mouse or touch it from your external controller. Automation
recording is stopped when you release the corresponding key. Once released, the control
element will move back to the previously recorded position. You can set the fader return
time in the "MIDI controller automation" dialog in "Settings -> Time constant for user
entry". The " MIDI controller automation" dialog can be accessed by right clicking the
automation button in the track editor.
Latch mode
In "Latch" mode automation files are written starting only from the first touch of the control
element or the external controller. As soon as the corresponding button is released, the
automation is written to the last value until playback ends or another mode is switched on.
Overwrite mode
In overwrite mode, automation data is recorded right away, as soon as playback begins,
independent of whether the fader is moved or not. Automation is written until playback
ends or another mode is switched on. This way, you can quickly overwrite a previously
recorded automation curve.
This mode is available only for the currently active, selected curve.
Trim mode
"Trim" mode is only available for volume automation. For other automation parameters,
"Trim" works just like "Touch" mode.
"Trim" mode allows you to move existing automation data relatively. The volume controller
for a channel is first set to -6 dB, regardless of the value the current automation data has.
The fader display that shows the value relative to the changes (fader value box) will show
the output value as -0.0 dB.
