Setting Up Automation

You can assign Backbone parameters to automation parameters, and even assign multiple parameters to the same automation parameter, to control these parameters at the same time.

Choices

  • To assign a parameter to an automation parameter, right-click the parameter control and select Assign to New Automation.

    The automation parameter is created on the first free automation parameter.

  • To add a parameter to an existing automation parameter, right-click the control, select Add to Automation and select the automation parameter.
  • To remove a parameter from the automation, right-click an automated control and select Forget Automation.
  • To assign a parameter to an automation parameter automatically while working in your host application, activate Automation Read/Write, start playback, and use the controls on the Backbone interface.
  • To remove an automation parameter, click the trash icon to the right of the parameter name.
  • To remove all automation parameters, click Delete All Parameters at the top of the page.
  • To rename an automation parameter, double-click the parameter name and enter the new name.

    This name is then used in your host application.

  • To replace the names for all automation parameters with the original parameter names of the program, click Refresh All Parameter Names on the toolbar.
