NOTE AND AUTOMATION EDITING
259
The “Convert Pattern Automation to Notes” function
(Record+Reason)
If you have recorded or drawn pattern automation on a Redrum or Matrix track, you can automatically convert the
whole pattern automation lane into note events on an additional note lane. Proceed as follows:
1. Select the track with the pattern automation.
2. Select “Convert Pattern Automation to Notes” from the Edit menu or the track’s context menu.
For each pattern automation clip, the corresponding device pattern is converted to note clips on an additional note
lane on the track. The generated note lane will play back just the same as when you played the pattern device with
the pattern changes.
• The pattern automation lane is automatically disabled (turned off) after this operation.
You can later go back to pattern automation if you wish, by turning on the pattern lane again.
Redrum specifics:
• The “Enable Pattern Section” switch on the Redrum device is automatically turned off when you use the “Con-
vert Pattern Track to Notes” function.
Matrix specifics:
• Make sure that the correct track is selected (normally the track for the device that the Matrix is connected to)!
Creating notes for the Matrix itself is pointless, as the Matrix cannot produce any sound.
• You may want to disconnect or even remove the Matrix device after performing this function.
This is because you probably don’t want both the Matrix and the sequencer notes to play the device at the same
time.
Editing tempo automation
Tempo automation is edited in the same way as regular parameter automation. See “Editing parameter automation”.
Drawing tempo automation events
Drawing tempo automation events is done in the same way as drawing regular parameter automation events. See
“Drawing parameter automation events”.
• Even though Record supports a very wide tempo range (1.0 BPM to 999.999 BPM), the initial displayed editing
range is 60-250 BPM in the left column in Edit Mode. This is only to make it easier to work with small tempo
changes.
If you want higher tempi than 250 BPM, or lower than 60 BPM, you can easily expand the range, either by select-
ing and moving a tempo automation event above, or below, the clip border, by double-clicking the max or min val-
ues (“250” or “60” in the left column in the picture above) and typing in a new value, or by selecting an event and
changing its value in the Value display in the Inspector.
