MIDI Part Data vs. Track Automation
404
MIDI Part Data vs. Track Automation
You can enter or record MIDI controller data as automation data on an automation track or as
part data in the MIDI part.
•
If Read Automation for a track is enabled, controller data is written as automation data
on an automation track in the Project window.
•
If Read Automation is disabled, the controller data is written in the MIDI part and can
be viewed and edited for example in the Key Editor.
Nevertheless, you can end up with both kinds of controller data for a MIDI part if you
recorded controller part data in one pass and automation data during another. In this case,
these conflicting data types are combined during playback as follows:
•
Part automation only begins when the first controller event within the part is reached.
At the end of the part, the last controller value is kept until an automation breakpoint is
reached on the automation track.
Writing Automation Data
You can create automation curves manually or automatically.
•
Manual writing makes it easy to quickly change parameter values at specific points
without having to activate playback.
•
Automatic writing lets you work almost as if you were using a real mixer.
With both methods, any applied automation data is reflected in both the MixConsole (a fader
will move for example) and in the corresponding automation track curve.

Automatic Writing of Automation Data
Every action that you perform is automatically recorded on automation tracks which you can
later open for viewing and editing.
PROCEDURE
1. In the track list, click Show/Hide Automation for a track to open its automation track.
2. Click W to enable the writing of automation data on this track.
3. Start playback.
4. Adjust the parameters in the MixConsole, in the Channel Settings window, or in the
effect control panel.
The value settings are recorded and displayed as a curve on the automation tracks.
When automation data is being written, the color of the automation track changes to
and the delta indicator in the automation track shows the relative amount by which the
new parameter setting deviates from any previously automated value.
5. Stop playback and return to the position where you started playback.
6. Click W to disable the writing of automation data.
