Effects on Clips

Both audio and MIDI clips now contain full-featured FX bins. You can insert real-time effects on clips,
in both MIDI and audio tracks. Each clip that you insert an effect on displays its own FX bin, that you
can use to manage the effects on that clip.
The characteristics of clip-based effects are:
Splitting a clip copies the effect(s) onto both clips.
You can copy or move clip-based effects from one clip to another, and to or from the FX bin on a
track.
A clip's FX bin also appears on the General tab of the clip's Clip Properties dialog (to open: right-
click the clip and choose Clip Properties from the popup menu).
Note: you cannot drag effects to or from the Clip Properties dialog.
You can patch an effect onto multiple clips at the same time by first selecting the clips.
Audio effects can be automated by using clip envelopes.
The Edit-Bounce to Clip(s) command follows clip boundaries—effects tails are cut off, unless you
slip-edit the end of the clip to leave space.
Freezing a track or synth will also freeze the per-clip FX bins.
