Why do aut and mod buttons disappear in arrangement view ?

Post by geoffroy » Wed Feb 19, 2020 1:23 pm

Hello

Running Live Suite 10.1.7 on Windows 10.

I'm using both automation and modulation on the same parameter of a MIDI clip (filter cutoff), and I can choose to display both of them when the clip is in Session view :

But If I drag this clip to Arrangement view, and I click on the clip, the aut and mod buttons are not there

Am I missing something ? Is there a reason for that ?

Thanks for your help !

Because in Arrangement automations are made on the track while modulations are made on the clip (in the detailed clip view).
In Session both are made on the clip.

Mmm, interesting ! I was using modulation to "scale" the movement of a LFO that I had written as automation, but I should do the opposite then.
Thanks for your quick reply, I will get used to it !
