Offsets
Click on the Offset button to open a dialog box allowing you to enter offset amounts.
Click on the Offset button at the bottom of the FX Automation™ window to call up a dialog
box that allows you to add to or subtract from the starting time of the selected event(s). All of
the selected events will be moved by the amount you type in here. Selecting "Add" will make
the selected events appear later in the program; selecting "Subtract" will make the selected
events appear earlier in the program.
Highlight one or more entries in the list and experiment with them to get a feel for where the
offset command will move them.
WARNING: It is possible, using Paste, Offset, and trimming, to move parameters into
places in the list that contain programs that do not use them! Be careful to keep track of
which program they belong with. We give you the flexibility... be creative, but be careful!
Changing Parameter values
Hold down option and click on any of the three parameter value fields (start value,
iterations, or final value) to pop up a fader for value adjustment.
There are three parameter value fields: one for the start value, one for iterations, and one for
final value. When the list is played, and each event is highlighted, you will see the start value
field move to the final value field. This animation provides visual verification of the change.
To alter any value field, press option and click on the field to pop up fader.
The iterations value is the maximum number of values available for the parameter during the
duration of the event. This value is dependent on the frequency with which the Macintosh is
able to sample a fader. Using Smooth, all changes are linear, played back with millisecond
accuracy. When Smooth is turned off, the boundary is 128 values ( as often as the Mac can get
them). Adjusting the iterations to a lower value will make the change less smooth, which may
be desirable. A lower iteration setting is also recommended when the Macintosh is very busy.
