Recording/Entering and Editing Automation

In the software, follow these steps to record automation data:

Tip: Whenever possible, use your MPC hardware (especially the Q-Link Knobs) when recording

automation data for faster results.

1. Click the Main Mode tab to enter Main Mode.

2. Click and move a Q-Link Knob so that it appears in the QLink display in the Q-Link Section.

3. In the Q-Link Section: If FX is selected, click the Effect drop-down menu to select an effect (which

must be already loaded). If Prg is selected, click the Pad drop-down menu to select a Pad.

4. Click the Param drop-down menu and select the parameter you want to automate (e.g., Filter

Cutoff).

5. If Pad is selected, click the Change drop-down menu and select the type of change (e.g., Real

Time).

6. Click the Overdub button, and then click Play to start automation recording. It is very important to

use the Overdub function; otherwise, this new recording will overwrite any data previously recorded

to that Track.

7. Move the corresponding parameter Q-Link Knob during the recording process.

8. Click Stop you are finished recording.

In the software, follow these steps to edit recorded automation data:

1. To the left of the velocity lane, next to Automation, click the triangle (T) and select the recorded

Real Time parameter (e.g., RT Filter resonance). The automation data will be displayed in the lane.

2. Click and drag an anchor point to move a value vertically (amount) or horizontally (time position).

You can move anchor points within the grid set by the Time Correct value. Hold the Shift key of

your computer keyboard to move the anchor points independently from the selected quantization.

• Double-click anywhere in the automation lane to add a new anchor point.

• Double-click an anchor point to delete it.

• Use the Pencil Tool (Draw Mode) to draw an automation curve.
