Automation Settings
To set up specific automation settings, click the button in the bottom left of the automation
panel.
Show Data on Tracks
Activate this to show audio waveforms or MIDI events on automation tracks.
The events are displayed only if Show Waveforms is enabled in the Preferences
dialog (Event Display—Audio page), and if Part Data Mode is set to an option other
than No Data(Event Display—MIDI page).
Use Virgin Territory
Activate this if you want to use virgin territories.
Continue Writing
If you activate this option, the recording of automation will not be blocked when
locating to a new position. This can be used to perform multiple automation passes
in cycle mode or if you are using the arranger functions.
If this option is deactivated and you write automation data and locate to another
position in the project, the writing will be stopped until the mouse button is released
or until a stop command is received.
Reveal Parameter on Write
If you activate this option, the corresponding automation track is revealed on writing
automation parameters. This is useful if you want to have a visual control of all
parameters changed on writing.
Return Time
This determines how fast the automated parameter returns to any previously
automated value when you release the mouse button. Set this to a value higher than
0 to prevent sudden jumps in your parameter settings which may lead to crackles.
Reduction Level
Punching out or using the Reduce Automation Events function removes all
superfluous automation events. This results in an automation curve that contains
only the events necessary to reproduce your actions. A reduction level value of 0
% removes repeated automation points only. A reduction level value between 1 to
100 % smoothens the automation curve. The default value of 50 % should reduce
the automation data amount significantly without touching the sound result of the
existing automation.
