Simple drawing FX Automation into song editor

[Hanns]

Please ... if it is possible, make the FX Automation drawable into the song editor ...

and markable / moveable ...

when patterns are moved, the FX automation data must be moved too

this would be fantastic

It's already pretty simple Hanns, using the Event Editor. IE; The timeline follows that in song, so all you have to do is click 84 in the timeline and you're immediately cued to where you want to edit. Then simply use the snap line or pencil. If you go and stick in another pattern block to extend, simply right click the volume fader you automated previously, and use the <--> arrows to slide the fade ramp or whatever back 4 or whatever the length of your inserted Pattern is.

My biggest quam is that there's no 'Divide' for events. To have something that fades out and fades back in later. If one goes and sticks a pattern inbetween, the fade in portion has to be redrawn further on down then. Would be nice to have 'Divide' and split the events at measure 52 per say - and drag the later portion with the fade in down 4 or 8 measures. And just use the erase button to fill in the gap from the last portion.

Yes, both things are currently possible. To move events with patterns in the Playlist, you need to check the box in the config dialog.

Wow! I wasn't even aware of that Bones. I thought it still had to be done manually with the <--> arrows still. So a pattern block that say peaks in volume in the middle and down again at the end. If this settings on, I could drag this block to the intro and the fader moves follow? And if I don't like it at the beggining, and want to try it at the end, follows just as well there?

Wow! To hell with 'divide' then!

Ok. I´ll use your tips thx !

There are two check-boxes, one for "module events" which covers song events for instruments [but not effects] and the other for Mixer events. They've been there since about v2.something and once you set 'em, you never have to think about it again. I reckon the default should be to have them both on.

Probably never noticed and/or checked them. Just been in there with the ol' snap line like I was sculpting The Thinker all this time. Oh, for the pain I have suffered!

Definately will make sure they're checked from now on!
