Creating new performance controller automation lanes
If you want to manually draw performance controller automation events for a controller which hasn’t already been
automated, you have to create a new Performance Controller Edit Lane for that parameter. Proceed as follows:
1. Open the note clip in Edit Mode.
2. Select the new performance controller to be automated by clicking on the Performance Controller Automation
Selector and selecting it from the pop-up list that appears:
In this example, we select Aftertouch.
3. A new Performance Controller Edit lane is created for the Aftertouch controller:
4. Now, you can draw Aftertouch performance controller events in the clip using the Pencil Tool as described in
“Drawing parameter automation events”.
Afterwards, you can edit the performance controller events the same way as with regular parameter automation
events (see “Editing parameter automation in Edit Mode”).
D It’s also possible to add any of the available device panel parameters as a performance controller.
Just select the “More Parameters...” alternative in the Performance Controller Automation Selector pop-up and se-
lect desired parameter from the list.
Deleting performance controller automation lanes
D To delete a performance controller automation lane, de-select it from the Performance Controller Automation
Selector list.
This brings up a confirmation alert if there is data on the lane (in any clip). You can delete without the alert by
pressing [Ctrl](Win) or [Cmd](Mac) when you de-select the parameter from the list.
About Automation Cleanup
Automation Cleanup is a function for controlling the amount of parameter automation events that should be created
during recording and/or manual drawing. The Automation Cleanup function applies to parameter automation events
as well as to performance controller automation events. The Automation Cleanup level can be set in the Preferences
menu and will apply to all new recorded automation events. You can also use the function on previously recorded pa-
rameter automation events. This is done on the Tools tab in the Tool Window.
