Assigning a Parameter to an Automation Track

Parameters are already assigned to automation tracks when you open them, according to their order in the parameter list.

Procedure

Open an automation track, and click on the automation parameter name.

A parameter list is shown. The content depends on the track type.
Do one of the following:
- Select the parameter.
- Select More to open the Add Parameter dialog that lists all parameters that can be automated, and select the parameter.

Result

The parameter replaces the current parameter in the automation track.

Note

Replacing automation parameters is non-destructive. If the automation track contains any automation data for the parameter that you replaced, this data is still available, although it is not visible. By clicking on the name of the automation parameter in the track list, you can switch back to the replaced parameter. On the pop-up menu, an asterisk (*) after the parameter name indicates hidden automation tracks.
