Which Parameters Are Automatable?
All the automatable parameters are found in Module or Properties (e.g., you cannot automate
the Pattern Length or the Step Grid resolution). In order to be automatable, parameters of
Modules and Properties have to meet following requirements:
▪ The parameter must be controlled by a knob or a button in the software — parameters con-
trolled by selectors (e.g., for selecting an operating mode or a filter type) cannot be auto-
mated.
▪ The parameter must be at the Group or Sound level — parameters at the Master level can-
not be automated.
This second rule notably means that if a Module is loaded at the Master level, its parame-
ters will not be automatable, whereas the same Module loaded in a Group or Sound will
have its parameters automatable.
Almost all parameters meeting these requirements (including the Macro Controls) are automat-
able, the few exceptions being:
▪ Sampler Module: SYNC (LFO
▪ Transient Master Module: LIMIT.
▪ Limiter Module: THRS
▪ Saturator Module: in Tube mode,

1. Enter Step mode by holding
2. Use Button 5 and 6 to select the desired Sound.
3. Press and hold the pad representing the step you want to automate (you may need to use
Button 7 and 8 to navigate to the desired part of the Pattern).
The displays will switch to a mode similar to Control mode displaying parameter values.
