622 Chapter 26 Working With Automation
Using the Autodefine Mode
The Autodefine mode sets the Hyper Draw parameters automatically, making the first
event in the region visible.
Autodefine is not limited to switching the Hyper Draw display to the first incoming
controller, but it can also respond to other types of events as well. It responds in this
order:
 Controller
 Aftertouch
 Pitch Bend
 Program Change
 Note Velocity
Recording of MIDI Automation Data
You can record MIDI automation just like regular MIDI events. Logic Express must be in
Record mode to capture this type of automation.
To record MIDI automation data, do one of the following:
m Move any Environment fader to record the fader’s MIDI events to the currently selected
track. For more information see “Recording and Playback of Fader Movements” on
page 942.
m Record events via external MIDI controllers, such as the modulation wheel or filter
cutoff control of your MIDI synthesizer, for example.
Editing MIDI Automation Data
As MIDI automation data consists solely of MIDI events, you can edit it just like any
other MIDI events, using the Event List, Hyper Editor, or the Transform window.
