VST Automation (cubase SL2)
View this Thread in Original format

Hi people. I've got a little query that i'm hoping you guys could help me with. I have got a copy of 'cubase SL2' and some VSTs and I was wondering if there's any way I could write VST automation to a track in cubase. What I have is a VST called 'Superwave' and I want to be able to change the cutoff at a given point in my lead. However, I don't have a midi keyboard/controller yet so i'm restricted to using a mouse for my midi notes. I did try to ask people on the cubase forum but I didn't get a reply.

Any help is appreciated.

Kind regards
SJM

You can get your answer from Steinberg's website. You can download the manual from here: http://www.steinberg.net/412_1.html

In the future, do your research before posting. Most of the TAs here will just blatantly ignore you with questions stemming from ignorance.

Here's an excerpt from the manual:

Automation track operations
Opening automation subtracks
Every track/channel has a number of automation subtracks, each
showing one automation parameter.
For audio, group, MIDI and FX channel tracks, there are two ways you
can open an automation subtrack for the channel:
� By right-clicking (Win) or [Ctrl]-clicking (Mac) the track in the Track
list and selecting �Show Automation� from the pop-up that appears.
� By clicking on the �Show/Hide Automation� button (the plus sign) in
the Track list for the channel.
An automation subtrack opens in the Track list, and a straight black horizontal line is
shown as well as a greyed out mirror image of the audio events� waveform (or MIDI
events for MIDI tracks) in the event display. By default, the volume parameter is assigned
to the first subtrack.
Click the �+� button to open an automation subtrack.
For VST Instruments, automation tracks appear automatically when
you add VST Instruments.
For ReWire channels and input/output busses, automation tracks are
automatically created when the Write automation button (see page
306) is activated in either:
� The corresponding channel strip in the mixer.
� The corresponding Channel Settings window.
� The mixer common panel (�Write All�).
� The area above the Track list (�Write All�)
