Most StudioWare panels are designed to both send and receive MIDI
data. This means two things:
¥ If you move the controls on your external MIDI device, the
StudioWare panel will be notiÞed of the changes
¥ When you play back a project containing automation data, the
StudioWare panel is notiÞed of the automation changes
The Update button in the StudioWare toolbar indicates whether these
changes are played back visually on the StudioWare panel. Press this
button to make sure that automation parameters and changes made on
the external MIDI device are displayed in the StudioWare panel. Turn
this option off if you do not want to see these changes.
If you are recording a snapshot while playback is in progress, you should
probably disable Update. Otherwise, some of the controls may move as a
result of previously recorded automation events, even while you are
trying to position them correctly.
When you are recording real-time control movements, you probably want
Update enabled, so that the controls will show the events that have
already been recorded.
If you record automation data on a track that contains linked clips, Pro
Audio automatically unlinks the clips so that the automation data do not
apply to other instances of the linked clip. As an example, suppose you
have four repetitions of a particular riff, stored in four linked clips that
play in sequence. When you record a fade-out over these four clips, Pro
Audio automatically splits the clips into four independent clips, each
with automation data representing some portion of the fade.
If you record a snapshot of control positions on a track that contains
linked clips, the clips remain linked, and the snapshot applies to all
copies of the linked clip.
If you are not happy with the automation data you recorded, you can
always use the Undo command to remove it.
The automation data you record using a StudioWare panel can be
displayed and edited using either the Controllers pane in the Piano Roll
view or the Event List view. For more information on the Controllers
pane, see ÒControllers, RPNs, NRPNs, and Automation DataÓ on page 6-
Snapshot Records a snapshot of the current
position of all controls
Record Activates real-time recording of all
control movements
