Automation Recording

With a MIDI controller, you can record automation instead of manually clicking and adding breakpoints to the envelope.

  1. Using the MIDI Mapping feature, assign a knob or fader to the parameter you wish to automate
  2. Click on to toggle the automation lane, then click on the Arm Automation Recording Icon:
