DrumTrackHD Main and interactive multiparameter track Automation Panels

To open Automations, select the icon in the Toolbar. You generally work with the Pattern Panel as well.

1. Select a Track by selecting its Title. You will now be applying automations only to this track and only in the current Step Mode (currently set to Volume).
2. Draw a wave across the big black Automations Panel. These values will be transcribed as levels in whatever Step Mode you happen to be in.

NOTE: Automations apply to the current track only, except Clear Automations

Set to Zero - Sets track's automation to default (usually 0)

Minimum - Sets to minimum currently set value of the current track, excluding default values.

Maximum - Sets to maximum currently set value of the current track, excluding default values.

Clear Automation - Options:

• Current - clears automation on entire current pattern in current Step Mode
• Current All Patterns - clear all automation from all patterns in Current Step Mode. For example, you could remove all panning or reversed tracks in your entire song.
• All - All Automations from current patterns in all Step Mode.
• All Patterns - All automations in all patterns and all Step Modes (clears entire song but leaves empty patterns)
