The outer ring of the knobs, used for automation.
To remove the entire automation for a parameter, simply right-click (on Mac OS X: [Ctrl]+click)
its outer ring. Alternatively, you can also select individual automation points in the Automation
Lane and right-click (on Mac OS X: [Ctrl]+click) them.
Which Parameters Are Automatable?
All the automatable parameters are found in Module or Properties (e.g., you cannot automate
the Pattern Length or the Step Grid resolution). In order to be automatable, parameters of
Modules and Properties have to meet following requirements:
▪
The parameter must be controlled by a knob or a button in the software — parameters con-
trolled by selectors (e.g., for selecting an operating mode or a filter type) cannot be auto-
mated.
▪
The parameter must be at the Group or Sound level — parameters at the Master level can-
not be automated.
This second rule is also true for Modules: if a Module is loaded at the Master level, its pa-
rameters will not be automatable — but the same Module loaded at the Group or Sound
level will have its parameters automatable.
Almost all parameters meeting these requirements (including the Macro Controls) are automat-
able, the few exceptions being:
▪
Sampler Module:
Sync
button (
LFO
section of page 5/6).
▪
Transient Master Module:
Limit
button.
▪
Limiter Module:
Thrs
knob (Threshold).
▪
Saturator Module: in Tube mode, the
Bass Overld
button (
Drive
section) and
Bypass
but-
ton (
EQ
section).
