NOTE AND AUTOMATION EDITING

Moving, resizing and duplicating pattern automation clips
(Record+Reason)
• You can move, resize and duplicate pattern automation clips in the same way as with note or automation clips.
However, it is recommended that Snap is activated (and in most cases set to “Bar”) when you do this (see “Snap”).
! If you resize a pattern automation clip by clicking and dragging the left resize handle, and thus change the
start position, the clip will be masked (just like a note clip). This means the pattern won’t necessarily begin on
beat 1. A selected pattern automation clip that has a masked start position will indicate this in the Pattern Off-
set display in the Inspector.
A pattern automation clip drawn between bar 1 and 5
Now, if we resize the clip by dragging the left resize handle two beats to the right, the Pattern Offset will change
but the pattern will play back as expected:
The same pattern automation clip “resized” to begin at beat 2
• You can also move or duplicate pattern automation clips using the Cut, Copy and Paste commands on the Edit
menu or context menu.
Again, the same rules apply as for note and parameter automation clips.
Deleting pattern automation clips (Record+Reason)
D Deleting pattern automation clips is done in the same way as deleting note clips. I.e. you can select or draw se-
lection rectangles and then press [Backspace] or use the Eraser tool etc.
D To clear all automation in a clip, simply delete the clip (or remove the whole lane to clear all pattern change au-
tomation on the track).
