About automation of display section parameters As with other Reason and Rack Extension devices it is possible to automate most of the panel parameters and control them from parameter automation lanes in the main sequencer in Reason. Besides the regular panel parameters in Synchronous, parameters in the display section can also be automated: The parameters in the display section that can be automated are: • The Master Offset control. • The Speed control for each modulation curve. • The Phase control for each modulation curve. • The Loop Locator for each modulation curve. • The FRZ (Freeze) and Kill buttons for each modulation curve. • The Modulation Control knobs for each modulation curve. To automate any of the parameters described above, proceed as follows: 1. Select the Synchronous device in the rack and select “Create Track for Default Synchronous” from the Edit menu or context menu. A track for the Synchronous device is created in the sequencer and the track is automatically selected. 2. Now, you have two options for recording parameter automation of the display parameter(s): Click the Record button on the sequencer transport panel and then click and turn/move the desired parameter(s) in the display section. The assigned parameters get separate parameter automation lanes on the sequencer track, as well as automation clips that contain automation data. Alternatively, click the Track Parameter Automation button and select the parameter you want to automate from the drop-down list that appears. The selected parameter gets a parameter automation lane. Now you can draw a clip on the lane and then open the clip and draw parameter automation curves in the clip. 3. When you are done with the parameter automation procedure, and you have stopped the sequencer, the assigned parameters are surrounded by green automation borders. Note that you cannot enable parameter automation by right-clicking and assigning controls in the display section! This can only be done with regular (non display section) panel parameters.
