Selecting sections of a controller track
To select a section of the “subtrack” for a controller, click and drag a selection
rectangle with the Arrow tool. If Snap is on, the selection will be magnetic to the
Snap value positions, just as when selecting notes.
The selected section is shown as a shaded rectangle.
D By holding down [Shift] and dragging, you can select multiple, dis-
continuous sections of the controller subtrack.
✪ If you select Groups or sections of the controller lane in the Arrange
View, this section will be selected when you got to Edit View and
vice versa.
Moving and Duplicating Controller sections
D To move a selected controller section, click and drag it to another
position on the same subtrack.
Snap is taken into account as usual.
D To duplicate a selected controller section, hold down [Option]
(Mac) or [Ctrl] (Windows), click and drag it.
! Moving or duplicating controllers will replace the controller values
at the new position (just as if you had edited them with the Line- or
Pencil tool).
Using Cut, Copy and Paste
You can move or duplicate selected controller sections using the Cut, Copy and
Paste commands on the Edit menu.
D When you Cut or Copy, the song position is automatically moved to
the end of the selection (or, if Snap is activated, to the closest Snap
value position after the end of the selection).
You can use this for repeating events, as described on page 16.
D When you Paste, the controller section appears at the song posi-
tion, on its original subtrack.
Deleting Controller sections
You can delete controller sections in two ways:
D By making a selection (as described above) and pressing [Back-
space] or [Delete] or by selecting Delete from the Edit menu.
D By using the Eraser tool.
If Snap is on, you can single click to immediately erase the shaded area
which corresponds to the set Snap value (e.g. Bar). You can also make a se-
lection range by clicking and dragging.
The result is this:
The controller value just before the deleted selection will remain until the end of the selection.
! You can´t remove all automation using this method - there will al-
ways be at least one controller value left. To remove all automation,
use the Clear Automation function:
Clearing Automation
To remove all automation for a controller, select “Clear Automation” from one of
the following menus:
D The context menu for the controller subtrack.
This appears when you [Ctrl]-click (Mac) or right-click (WIndows) in the sub-
track.
D The Edit menu.
Requires that the controller subtrack has focus. Click in the subtrack if you
are uncertain.
D The parameter context menu.
This appears when you [Ctrl]-click (Mac) or right-click (WIndows) on the pa-
rameter on the device panel.
Note that this clears all automation for the parameter, on all tracks!
Selecting “Clear Automation” will remove all controller values from the subtrack,
and the text “Not Automated” will be shown.
