knob thing...

Cspataro	Date: November 25, 2005 @ 11:06 AM hi, first of all i have to say im a nooobie, and that i know very little about fruity loops. Anyways, ive been looking at the demonstrations that the program brings and i noticed that there is a way to make the knobs move automaticaly at some parts of the song. Im not sure if im clear enough... The knobs you move when your configuring the song move automatically thought the song. if you know how to do this, pleeeeaaasee help me! i really need to learn this. THanks!
jimbobber1985	Date: November 25, 2005 @ 11:58 AM ok, i just learned how to do this so.... first, select a blank pattern in the playlist (the one called "main automation" is recommended). next, right click on the nob u want to move. click "initiate song with this position". then right click on it again and click "edit events". a new window will open and u basically draw lines to indicate how u want the nob to move. for example: if u want the volume to go from silent to full volume, draw a diagonal line from the bottom of the window to the top over however many bars you want the change to take place. then close the window. there should now be a bar in the pattern you selected which will be the same size as the line you drew. this is the 'automation' and will initiate like any other bar in the playlist (ie when the play slider slides over it). ok, think thats it, hope i was sum help!
Cspataro	Date: November 25, 2005 @ 12:11 PM YEY!!!! thanks man! it works! im still having trouble drawing that line, mostly becouse its more like a graph but i hople ill be able to master it! thanks!
Cspataro	Date: November 25, 2005 @ 12:48 PM hmmm a question, should i creat more "main automation" patterns to handle more than one knob? All of my knobs began moving when they werent supposed to!
jimbobber1985	Date: November 26, 2005 @ 4:28 AM yeh it is more like a graph actually! you can automate lots of nobs in the same pattern, but if u need to, u can create new ones. if u put a bar in the main automation pattern at the start of u track, the numbered bars in the automation window/graph drawer thingy will match up with the bars in the track. so say u wanna start moving a nob at 24 bars, u draw the graph starting at 24 bars. if u know what i mean, cos sumtimes i dont!
