Automating the MP-100

The MP-100 Digital Reverberator can be completely automated within any control software that
supports automation. Refer to the user guide for your particular software package for support offered
for this functionality. The following section describes MP-100 automation within Cubase VST.
To write enable the channel that the MP-100 is assigned to, open the Cubase VST Mixer window
and click the Write button.
Changes made to MP-100 parameters will be recorded to an Audio Mix Part. Any changes (even
those made while the transport is in Stop) are recorded, as long as the Write button is enabled.
If you check the Arrange window when playback is stopped, you will note that a special Mixer Track
called Audiomix has been created. This Track contains one long Part named Audiomix, in which all
your Monitor mixer actions are stored. Don't worry about the length of this Part — it will automatically
be lengthened if you record past its end.
Please note that there is only one Audiomix Part/Track, created the first time you use the Write
function in your Arrangement. The next time you use the Write function, information is added to the
existing Part.
To stop writing automation events, click the Write button a second time, or close the Mixer window.
All changes to this track and its plug-ins will cease to record.
To play back automation in your mix:
1. Check that the Audiomix Track or Part is not muted.
2. Activate automated playback by clicking on the Read button in the upper left corner of the Monitor
window. If you want to watch and listen to your recorded mixer actions, for example, while you're
recording fader movements for another mixer channel, you can activate Read and Write
simultaneously.
Begin playback as usual. The monitor faders and controls will move automatically, following your
recorded actions. You will also hear your plug-in automation events playing back with your audio.
