NOTE AND AUTOMATION EDITING

Editing parameter automation
Parameter automation events can be edited both in the Song/Block View and Edit Mode. In the Song/Block View
the parameter automation clip can be opened in sort of a “semi edit mode”, which shows the automation events of the
selected clip. You can also edit the parameter’s Static Value. Editing automation events works in the same way,
whether in the Song/Block View or in Edit mode.
Editing parameter automation in the Song/Block View
D In the Song/Block View, double-click the parameter automation clip on the parameter automation lane.
The parameter automation clip is now opened in the Song/Block View:
A parameter automation clip before and after opening it in the Song/Block View.
Here you can edit the parameter’s Static Value (see “Static Value Handles”) with the up/down arrow buttons to the
left of the open clip. Alternatively, double-click and type in a new Static Value in the box.
In the open parameter automation clip, it’s possible to move, add and delete automation events in the same way as in
Edit Mode using the Selection (Arrow), Pencil and Eraser tools - see “Editing parameter automation in Edit Mode”.
• A selected automation event’s position and value is also shown in the Inspector.
The event’s position and value can be edited numerically in the displays - see “Note and automation editing in the
Inspector”.
D To close an open parameter automation clip in the Song/Block View, press [Esc] or click on another lane on
the Arrangement Pane.
D If you resize the automation clip and make it longer, the first and/or last automation value will be extended all
the way to the clip boundary.
In the picture above, a Mixer 14:2 Mute button is automated. The clip only contains a single automation point, but
as we extend the clip in both directions, the value is automatically extended to the start and end of the clip. This
means you can adjust the Mute automation time by moving and resizing the clip, without having to open the clip.
