Automated Fader

The Automated Fader is a volume control that can be programmed to change with time. It can be used to attenuate, amplify or mute part of a Track. It can also be used to turn off Reverb or Echo effects if used in an Effect Return section or in a Parallel Effect.

The fader will move in a linear fashion from one Dot to another. Dots can be added by left clicking the mouse. The new Dot will be placed 'on the line' if the Shift key is held down while clicking. One or more Dots can be selected or dragged using the mouse. Selected dots appear red, and they can be deleted using the Delete button. Freehand drawing is possible by keeping the Alt key down while moving the mouse (keep the left mouse button down).

Delete removes the selected Dot(s).
Sel. All selects all dots.
Undo and Redo let you undo and redo edits.

Editing the fader is not possible while the Transport is running.
