Playing Back Automation

How a control behaves during automation playback depends on the type of control (knob,
fader, switch) and on the automation mode. See Table 14-1 in Section 14.3 - Automation
Modes for descriptions of the automation modes. This section describes only those con-
trol/mode combinations that do not respond, or begin recording automatically, when
manually adjusted.
