Operation Manual

THE SEQUENCER
23
D By using the Controller pop-up menu on the sequencer toolbar, you can
hide or show individual controllers from the sequencer.
Shown controllers are indicated by a tick mark on the pop-up menu - select a con-
troller to show it or hide it.
Controllers for which there is data (automation) in the track are indicated with an
asterisk next to the controller name.
D Click the “Show Device Controllers” button to show all controllers avail-
able for the track’s device.
D Click the “Show Controllers in Track” button to show all controllers for
which you have recorded or drawn automation in the Track.
D Select “Hide All Controllers” from the Controller pop-up menu to hide all
controllers.
This will leave the Controller lane empty.
Drawing and Editing Controllers
Regardless of whether you’re editing recorded controllers or creating controller
changes from scratch, you do it by drawing with the Line- or Pencil tool.
Note:
D When using the line tool, you can hold down [Shift] when drawing to re-
strict movement to horizontal only.
D If Snap is on, the controller value change you enter will snap to the near-
est Snap value position.
Also, the length of the changed section will be a multiple of the Snap value.
In this example, Snap is set to 1/4. Thus, the controller changes you enter will be in “steps”, one or
more quarter notes in length.
D If the controller hasn’t been automated yet (the words “Not Automated”
are shown in the Controller lane), it is a good idea to first set the param-
eter to a good “default value” on the device panel.
The reason is that as soon as you enter a controller value, the rest of the track will
be filled with the original value of the parameter (the value set on the device panel).
This works exactly the same as when recording controllers - see page 6.
