Automation
Assigning a parameter to an automation track
Default parameters are already assigned to automation
tracks when you open them, according to their order in the
Add Parameter list.
To select which parameter an open automation track dis-
plays, proceed as follows:
1. Open an automation track and click on the automation
parameter name.
A parameter list is shown. The contents depend on the track type.
• If the parameter you wish to automate is available on the
pop-up menu, you can select it directly.
• If you wish to add a parameter not available on the pop-
up menu or if you want to view all parameters that can be
automated, proceed with the next step.
2. Select “More…”.
The Add Parameter dialog opens. This dialog shows a list with all parame-
ters that can be automated for the selected channel (sorted into different
categories), including the parameters for any assigned insert effects. To
view the parameters in a category, click the “+” sign for the corresponding
category folder.

3. Select a parameter from the list and click OK.
The parameter will replace the current parameter in the automation track.
Note that the “replacing” of the parameter displayed in the
automation track is completely non-destructive. If the au
-
tomation track contains any automation data for the pa-
rameter you just replaced, this data is there, although it is
not visible. By clicking on the automation parameter name
in the track list, you can switch back to the replaced pa
-
rameter. On the pop-up menu, all automated parameters
are indicated by an asterisk (*) after the parameter name.
Automated parameters
Repeat the above procedure to assign all the parameters
you want to automate to separate automation tracks.
