8.1.2 Recording Automation

Many hosts require that you have enabled transport record in order to record automation, while

others make use of dedicated automation controls. Once the host is ready to record automa-

tion, you can start playback and adjust parameters on the KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboard in

order to record them.

For detailed information regarding automation recording in the host, refer to its docu-

mentation.
