• Activity bar
To the right of the “M” button is the note lane Activity bar. As soon as there is any note playing in a clip on the lane,
the bar lights up in green. The note lane Activity bar also reflects the velocity of the played back notes.
• Delete (X) button
To the far right is the “Delete Note Lane” (X) button. Clicking this button will delete the lane (and all clips on it). If
there are clips on the lane, a dialog appears prompting you to confirm deletion.
Parameter automation lane
An instrument track with two parameter automation lanes
Parameter automation is used for controlling changes of device parameter values in a song. You could, for example,
automate a filter cutoff parameter and record filter sweeps at various positions in your song. These kind of parameter
value changes are recorded on parameter automation lanes.
Parameter automation lanes can exist in all track types and can contain clips with device and/or channel strip param-
eter automation. A track can have as many automation lanes as its device has automatable parameters.
Parameter automation lane elements
• Fold/Unfold button
Parameter automation lanes in a track can be folded/unfolded, as a group, by clicking the small triangle on the
handle to the far left on the parameter automation lane tab.
D To fold/unfold all parameter automation lanes on all tracks in the sequencer, hold down [Alt](Win) or
[Option](Mac) and click on the triangle on a parameter automation lane tab.
•Name
The name of the automated parameter is displayed on the parameter automation lane tab. Since the name reflects
the original device/channel strip parameter name, this cannot be changed.
•On button
The “On” button is active by default and enables the automated parameter in the clip on the lane to have effect.
You can switch off automation lanes by clicking the yellow “On” for a lane button so it goes dark. This will freeze
whatever value the parameter had when switching off the automation lane. Clicking the button again reactivates
the automation.
• Delete Automation Lane (X) button
To the far right is the “Delete Automation Lane” (X) button. Clicking this button will delete the lane (and all clips on
it). If there are clips on the lane, a dialog appears prompting you to confirm deletion. See “Deleting parameter au-
tomation lanes” for alternative ways of deleting parameter automation lanes.
