Creating/adding parameter automation lanes
Parameter automation lanes can be created for all track types.
• During recording of a track, changing any parameter values on the device/channels strip will automatically cre-
ate a new parameter automation lane for each unique parameter. See “Recording parameter automation” for
more details.
Do as follows to manually create a parameter automation lane on a selected track:
D Hold down [Alt](Win) or [Option](Mac) and click on a device parameter in the rack, or on a channel strip param-
eter in the Main Mixer. Alternatively, select “Edit Automation” from the parameter’s context menu.
A new parameter automation lane will be automatically created in the track for the corresponding device or chan-
nel strip. The automated parameter on the device in the rack or channel strip in the Main Mixer will get a green
border, indicating that it has been automated.
! Note that if a track hasn’t already been created for the device/channel strip, it will be automatically created
during this operation.
Other ways of creating/adding a parameter automation lane are as follows:
1. Click on the “Track Parameter Automation” drop-down list at the top of the Track List.
2. Select the parameter you want to automate from the list.
A new parameter automation lane is automatically created on the selected track.
If you click the Track Parameter Automation drop-down list again, any selected parameters will have a symbol to
the left of the parameter name, indicating that an automation lane already exists for the parameter.
The automated parameters on the device in the rack or channel strip in the Main Mixer will get green borders, in-
dicating that they have been automated.
Creating a pattern lane
For pattern based devices such as the Redrum Drum Module and Matrix Analog Pattern Sequencer, a single pattern
lane can be created on a selected track. Do either of the following:
D Click the “Create Pattern Lane” button at the top right of the Track List.
D Select “Create Pattern Lane” from the Edit menu or from the context menu.
D Hold down [Alt](Win) or [Option](Mac) and click on the “Pattern” button section of the device in the rack.
D Right-click (Win) or [Ctrl]-click (Mac) on the “Pattern” button section of the device in the rack and select “Edit
Automation” from the context menu.
When you create a pattern lane, the bank buttons on the device in the rack get a green border to indicate that they
have been automated.
D Clicking the Pattern and/or Bank buttons on the device during recording will automatically create a pattern
lane. See “Recording pattern automation” for more details.
