Recording Automation Data from an External Controller
You can record automation data from an external controller or a MIDI keyboard.
To Record Automation Data from an External Controller
1. In either the Track view or Console view, right-click the control or knob that you want to control
externally, and choose Remote Control from the pop-up menu.
The Remote Control dialog box appears.
2. If your controller sends standard MIDI messages, RPN’s, or NRPN’s, choose a controller (such as
Wheel) with which to control your knob or control (see Remote Control dialog for more
information). Also choose the MIDI channel your controller will be sending the automation data on
(it doesn’t have to be the same channel that the knob or control’s track plays back on), and click
OK.
3. If your controller works by sending SysX information instead, choose options in the SysX fields
(see Remote Control dialog for more information), and click OK.
4. In either the Track or Console view, write enable the knob or control for automation that you just
configured for remote control.
Note: You can change a plug-in envelope’s color whenever you want by highlighting its name
in the effect’s envelope dialog box and clicking the Choose Color button.
