• To change the program’s automation, tap the automation button to cycle through its three states:
o When off, the program will ignore automation data. If you have already
recorded or entered automation, tapping this will switch between Read (R)
and Write (W) only, but you can override this and turn it off by pressing and
holding Shift while tapping the button.
Important: If you have already recorded automation and turn it off, the track
will still use the effect and its parameter values at the point where you turned
it off.
o When set to Read (R), the program will read automation data but will not
record any additional automation over it. You can still manually edit and
enter automation. (Think of this as a protective feature to prevent accidental
changes to your automation while recording.)
o 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: You can quickly set all programs to the same automation in XYFX
Mode. See the XYFX Mode chapter to learn how to do this.
• To change the panning or level of the program, adjust the pan knob or Level slider.
