D You can also remove automation lanes by using the Delete Automation
Lane (“X”) button in the track list for the corresponding lane.
If you try to remove an automation lane with clips on it, an alert dialog opens where
you can select to cancel the operation or to proceed.
Editing existing automation events
As explained previously you can edit automation clips in Arrange mode. They open like
a “mini instance” of Edit mode that only shows the selected automation clip’s con-
tents, not the contents of the note lane. Editing automation is the same whether you
do it this way or in Edit mode (except the Static value for the automation lane is only
shown in Edit mode).
The following section describes editing automation in Edit mode.
To edit existing automation events, proceed as follows:
1. Select Edit mode for the track that has the automation you wish to edit.
Use the dividers if necessary to locate the automation clip to edit - these are lo-
cated at the bottom pane of the window (not in the note clip). Track parameter au-
tomation clips have a cut upper right corner. (There might be performance
automation edit lanes on the track also and these are edited in the same way but
for now we stick to track parameter automation.)
2. You open the clip for editing by double clicking it or by selecting it and press-
ing Return.
The clip is now open for editing.
D In Edit Mode, the static value is shown to the left in the automation lane.
In this example, the static value is set to 50 - this means that the Filter Freq param-
eter will be set to 50 everywhere in the song except where there are automation
clips for it. To change the static value, drag the handle or double-click and type.
3. When an automation clip is open, you can select, move, copy or delete auto-
mation points, just like editing notes in the note editor.
When moving automation events with the Arrow tool, snap is taken into account if
activated. You can also resize the clip by dragging the clip handles in Edit mode.
D A selected automation event’s position and value is also shown in the In-
spector.
These values can be edited numerically just like for note events - see page 83.
