Recording an Automation List

Let's try recording and playing back a simple "pass" of Automation. We'll need:
• An audio source
• A source of MIDI timecode (locked to the audio source)
Connect the MIDI timecode source to NuVerb through our MIDI interface using the MIDI
Manager Patchbay™. (Questions? See Time Code Aplications and About Midi Manager in the
Reference section.)
Make sure Ignore Incoming Timecode under the Options menu is not selected. If it is, de-
select it.
Make sure that the library you want to use, and the Hot Palette are both assigned to the same
slot#/NuVerb card.
Once audio source and Timecode connections are made, we can create a list.
1. Click on the Record button on the Automation List control panel.
2. Start playing your Audio/timecode source.
3. Select a program in your Library and load it (by clicking on the Load button, or by double-
clicking on the program name). You will see the program appear as an entry on the
Automation List.
4. Click on the first Hot Palette parameter, and adjust its value with the fader. When the fader
is put away, you will see new events which represent the parameter adjustments you just
made drop into the list.
5. Click on Record to stop recording, and to rewind the audio/timecode source.
Remember — when you open the Program Editor in Automation, you are using it as a control
surface. If you want to leave the program in its original condition, select Don't Save when
closing the window.
