Resizing Block Automation Clips
As with other clip types Block Automation Clips can be resized by clicking and dragging the clip handle(s) with the
Selection (Arrow) tool or by editing the Position and Length values in the Inspector.
• If you resize a Block Automation Clip by clicking and dragging its left clip handle, and thus changing its start
position, the Block Offset will change.
This means that the Block Automation Clip could start playing in the middle of the Block, i.e. not from the begin-
ning. The picture below shows a Block Automation Clip before and after resizing the start position:
Changing the start position by resizing a Block Automation Clip
In the example above, the Block Automation Clip will begin playing at Bar 7, and will start playing back the events
that begin at Bar 7 in the Block.
• If a Block contains sequencer tracks that use Pattern Automation (a Redrum track, for example), a Block Offset
will make the pattern start playing back from the correct position within the pattern and sound just as you
would expect.
Reassigning Blocks in Block Automation Clips
D To assign another Block to an existing Block Automation Clip, click the small triangle button on the Block Au-
tomation Clip and select another Block from the drop-down list:
The Block Automation Clip color changes to the color of the new Block and the ghosted clips on the tracks switch
to show the contents of the new Block.
