616 Chapter 26 Working With Automation
To copy or convert the automation data of one parameter to another:
1 Select the automation parameter that you want to copy, or convert, in the Automation
Parameter menu.
2 Command-click on the Automation Parameter menu and choose a destination
parameter.
A dialog will ask if you want to convert, or “copy and convert,” the source parameter
data into automation data for the destination parameter. A “copy and convert” results in
the source parameter automation data being retained, and replicated for the
destination parameter.

selection.
To bend an automation line:
m Drag the desired automation line with the Automation Curve tool.
∏ Tip: This function is also available when using the standard Pointer tool, by pressing
Option-Control.

 Clicking on a line or node enables you to change all values by the same absolute
amount.
 Clicking outside a line, within the selected area (a node or outside a node), changes
all values proportionately, by a percentage value.
