Click the Automation button in the upper-right corner to switch the program’s automation between Off,
Read (R), and Write (W).
• When set to Off, the program will ignore automation data. If you have already recorded or
entered automation, clicking the button will switch between Read (R) and Write (W) only,
but you can override this and set it to Off by pressing and holding Shift on your computer
keyboard while clicking the button.
• When set to Read (R), the program will read automation data but will not record any
additional automation over it, though you can still manually edit and enter automation.
(Think of this as a protective feature to prevent accidental changes to your automation while
recording.)
• When set to Write (W), the Program can record automation. If you have any Q-Link Knobs
assigned to automatable parameters, make sure not to touch any accidentally while you are
recording.
Tip: Set all programs to the same automation setting by clicking the Global Automation button in
the upper-right corner of the software window.
