Recording Automation
To record automation:
1 In the Automation Enable window, make sure
that plug-in automation is write-enabled.
2 If using a MIDI control surface, do the follow-
ing: On the MIDI control surface, assign the
MIDI Controller number for the parameter you
want to automate.
3 On the track with Synchronic inserted, choose
an automation mode. For an initial pass, choose
Auto Write.
4 Click Play to begin writing automation, and
move the controls you want to automate.
5 When you have finished, click Stop.
After the initial automation pass, you can write
additional automation to the track without com-
pletely erasing the previous pass by choosing
Auto Touch mode or Auto Latch mode. These
modes add new automation only when you actu-
ally move the control for that parameter.
As an alternative to using the Plug-In Auto-
mation window, you can enable individual
plug-in parameters directly from the Plug-
In window by Control-Alt-Start-clicking
(Windows) or Command-Control-Option-
clicking (Mac) the parameter’s text field or
control. See the Pro Tools Reference Guide
for more information.
Shortcut for enabling a Synchronic parameter for
automation
For more information on assigning a MIDI
Controller number, see See “Assinging MIDI
Controller Numbers to Synchronic Knobs”
on page 611.
If you use automation to control preset
changes, place automation breakpoints
slightly ahead of the point at which the
change is desired. Since Synchronic triggers
all Sound and Playback changes according
to MIDI Clock boundaries, a thirty-second
note ahead of time is recommended.
For more information on creating and edit-
ing automation, see the

ence Guide
