Automation tricks

Post by abacus66 »

Hi! Is it possible to copy control change events to the automation lane, for example, cc#11 to volume?

Thanks.

Yes have a look at Region -> Reassign continuous data
Here you can change or copy data.

For example:
  1. Copy from Controller 11
  2. To Effect Automation: 1st RealLPC Volume
Nothing :banghead:

Hmm I see. So you want to - copy data from a MIDI track - to - automation of another audio track? Reassign controller doesn't work like that indeed.

This Works!:
You have to attach a MIDI cc controller to the parameter you want to automate.
Click that little piano icon bottom left in your plugin.
It should open Controller Assignments.
Double click the empty space under 'Source'

Here you can select which track and what controller you'd like to control your automation parameter.
Source: select which track
Receive: 7bit or 14bit controller
Select cc number
Min-max value: 0-1

Then check if target is correct.

Now you can control the parameter with the MIDI cc automation of your MIDI track. Just record automation if you'd like to edit it in your automation lane.

:wink:
