294 AUTOMATION
Controller Nr.: Selection of MIDI Controllers
Channel: MIDI channel to which the MIDI controller sends values
Color: Color selection for each automation curve
By selecting the option "Record/Update MIDI controller curves to this track during
playback", an automatic recording of selected MIDI Controllers curves for this track takes
place.
To fill an already occupied automations slot, simply enter another controller name or
another controller number.
Delete an automations curve by selecting the topmost (empty) entry in the "MIDI Controller
Name" field.
Settings
Detailed information on automation curve settings and MIDI controller can be found under
"Automations/MIDI controller settings" (view page 296).
VST plug-in/VST parameter dialog
All parameters you would like to automate can also be selected and activated in the VST
plug-in's parameters dialog.
This allows you to directly record automations with the selected parameter controllers
during playback.
You can open the parameter dialog from the plug-in panel via the "Plug-in -> Parameter"
menu.
Detailed information about the VSTi parameter dialog can be found in "Software/VST
instruments -> plug-in parameter dialog (view page 276)".
Automation recording in read mode
The easiest way to write automation in "Read" mode during playback is via the "Ctrl +
Alt + Switch/Fader" shortcut while directly in the plug-in/instrument/mixer interface. This
way you can easily make an automated recording at any point in time. As long as you hold
down the key combination, you can also automate the selected parameters in "Read"
mode.
By clicking a mixer/VST control element while stopped with the same key combination
"Ctrl + Alt", a corresponding, inactive curve will be automatically created for you to edit in
draw mode.
