Automation
You can click the “Append Automation Track” button (the
“+” sign) for the automation subtrack several times to
open additional subtracks and repeat the above proce-
dure to assign a parameter to each subtrack.
Removing automation subtracks
To remove automation subtracks from the Track list, pro-
ceed as follows:
• To remove a single subtrack, click the parameter name
and select “Remove Parameter” from the pop-up menu.
Note that this will also delete any automation events on the subtrack, and
the subtrack will be closed.
• To remove all currently unused subtracks from a track in
the Track list, select “Remove Unused Parameters” from
any of its subtrack parameter name pop-ups.
All subtracks that do not contain automation events will be closed for the
selected track.
Hiding automation subtracks
• To hide a single automation subtrack, position the pointer
over the top left border of the subtrack in the Track list and
click the “Hide Automation Track” button (the minus sign).
• To hide all automation subtracks for a track, right-click
the track for which you wish to hide the automation sub-
tracks, and select “Hide Automation” from the context
menu.
• To hide all automation subtracks for all tracks in the
Track list, right-click any track and select “Hide All Auto-
mation” from the context menu.
This option is also available in the Track Folding submenu of the Project
menu.
Showing only used automation subtracks
If a lot of automation subtracks are used, it may be imprac-
tical to have them all open in the Track list. If you want to
view only the subtracks that are used (i.e. those that actu-
ally contain automation events) and hide all empty auto-
mation subtracks, do one of the following:
• Right-click any track in the Track list and select the op-
tion “Show All Used Automation” from the pop-up menu.
This will close all automation subtracks not containing any automation
events, while leaving used subtracks open for all tracks. This option is
also available in the Track Folding submenu of the Project menu.
• Right-click a specific track and select the option “Show
Used Automation” from the context menu.
This will close all automation subtracks for the selected track not contain-
ing any automation events, while leaving used subtracks open.
Muting automation subtracks
You can mute individual automation subtracks by clicking
their Mute buttons in the Track list. Clicking the Read (R)
button (see “Using Write/Read automation” on page 209)
for an automation subtrack will activate or deactivate Read
mode for all automated parameters of the track. Using the
Mute button allows you to turn off automation for a single
parameter.
