Moving automation events

You can move individual automation events, including moving them upwards and downwards to change their values.

Prerequisite

The automation lane is shown for each instrument whose automation events you want to move.

Procedure

  1. In the automation lane header, select the MIDI controller whose automation events you want to move from the MIDI Controller menu.
  2. Select the automation events you want to move in one of the following ways:

    • Click a single automation event

    • Make a marquee selection around multiple automation events

    Note

    You can only move automation events in a single automation lane at a time.

  3. Move the selected automation events in any of the following ways:

    • To move them to the right/left, Ctrl/Cmd-click and drag them to the right/left.

    • To move them upwards/downwards, Ctrl/Cmd-click and drag them upwards/downwards.

      Tip

      If you want to move automation events upwards/downwards by smaller increments, you can press Alt when dragging.

    • Click and drag them in any direction.

    Note

    You cannot move automation events beyond other existing automation events during the same action. Releasing the mouse causes the moved automation event to replace the existing one. You can then reselect it and move it further.
