NOTE AND AUTOMATION EDITING

Creating empty clips
When recording in the sequencer, clips are automatically created on the record enabled lane when necessary. How-
ever, there might be situations when you want to manually draw empty clips in the Song/Block View to record or edit
in later on:
1. Select the Pencil Tool from the sequencer Toolbar.
2. Place the Pencil on the lane where you want the clip to begin.
If you want to create a note clip, draw it on a note lane. If you want to create a parameter automation clip, draw it
on a parameter automation lane. If Snap is activated, the clip start and end boundaries will snap to the set Snap
value (see “Snap”).
3. Click and drag the Pencil to the right where you want the clip to end.

D You can also draw empty clips in Edit Mode. A note clip should then be drawn in the Clip Overview and a pa-
rameter automation clip on the corresponding Parameter Automation Lane.
If you draw on the Edit Pane in Edit Mode, a note will be created instead. If necessary, a new clip will be automat-
ically created to surround the note.
