Moving automation points

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

Prerequisite

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

Procedure

  1. In the automation lane header, select the MIDI controller whose automation points you want to move from the MIDI Controller menu.
  2. Press S to select Object Selection.
  3. Select the automation points you want to move in one of the following ways:

    • Click a single automation point.

    • Make a marquee selection around multiple automation points.

    Note

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

  4. Move the selected automation points in any of the following ways:

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

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

      Tip

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

      • You cannot move automation points beyond other existing automation points during the same action when using the mouse. You must release the mouse before reselecting the automation point and move it further.
