Automation and Controller Lanes
In the Edit window, you can view automation 
and controller data under a track (regardless of 
the selected Track View). Each track provides 
Automation and Controller lanes that let you 
edit track automation and controller data with-
out changing the Track View. You can edit auto-
mation and controller data in lanes exactly the 
same way that you do in different automation 
and controller Track Views.
Automation and Controller lanes can be shown 
or hidden. You can also add and remove lanes. 
These lanes always remain under the track, but 
you can resize and reorder lanes independently 
of one another.
To show or hide Automation lanes under the main 
track view:
Click the Show/Hide Lanes button.
To add a lane:
Click the Add Lane button.
To remove lanes:
Click the Remove Lane button.
To change the Automation or Controller type for a 
lane:
Click the Automation/Controller Type selec-
tor and select the Automation or Controller type 
you want.
To replace all Automation and Controller lanes 
under the track with a single lane of the specified 
automation or controller type:
