[ddots-l] Re: Using the sliders and knobs on my Radium49 m-audio keyboard for parameter control.

Hi Chris
Yes to the first 2 questions.

3. If I simply want to change the parameter from one value to another
instantaneously, how do I do this as opposed to creating a shape? I read
something about snap shots, but I haven't yet figured out how to do this?
The automation event weather it be a snapshot or real-time are called shapes.

Its pretty easy to do that though.
A. arm the parameter for automation
B. take snapshot by using Control+r twice (usually a good idea to go to the beginning of the project and take a snapshot there so you have some sort of reference point.)
C. find where you want to automate the change, after making the change take a snapshot and your done.
D. don't forget, to unarm for automation after your done. I've forgotten more times than I could count.

Your last question, I hope someone on the list could answer this because I was wondering this the other day. I opted to work around it, by ignoring it for now...
Hope this helps.

OK, I want to go through what my understanding of how to do this and get confirmation that my understanding of the manual and of posts on this and the midi-mag list is correct.

Scenario: I want to assign the panning parameter for a track to the first knob on my radium. I go to the pan parameter and, using the context menu, arm it for automation, then again using this menu, I select the remote control selection. In the dialogue that appears, I tab to the learn button. I then turn the knob I want to assign to control the pan through its range of turning and either activate the learn button with the space bar or possibly hit alt-l.

From now on, whenever I am on this track, turning the knob I chose in the previous steps will change the panning parameter. I can do this during a record automation to move the pan around in the mix.

1.  Is this the correct procedure?

2. Can I do this during playback to hear how it might sound before going into automation record?
3. If I simply want to change the parameter from one value to another instantaneously, how do I do this as opposed to creating a shape? I read something about snap shots, but I haven't yet figured out how to do this?

4. With whatever corrections you guys make to my previous understanding, it seems fairly simple for directly accessible things like the pan, volume, etc. But if I want to control a set of parameters, say within the lexicon reverb or the eq with these controls, how do I arm them for automation, and where do I access them to use the learning function to assign the control I want?
