Recording and editing arpeggiator automation on an instrument track
You can not record or edit automation data on an instrument track. To use automation on an
instrument track, you must first split the instrument track into separate audio and MIDI tracks, create
or edit the automation data on the MIDI track, then recombine the tracks into an instrument track.
For details, see “Splitting an instrument track to separate audio and MIDI tracks” on page 809 and
“Converting an audio and MIDI track to a single instrument track” on page 808.
See:
“Arpeggiator” on page 269
Tip:
Existing envelopes can be reassigned to arpeggiator envelopes and vice versa. To do so, right-
click an envelope and select
Assign Envelope
on the context menu.
