Using Hyper Draw Key Commands
The following Arrange window key commands can speed up use of Hyper Draw:
 Hyper Draw: Disable
 Hyper Draw: Volume
 Hyper Draw: Pan
 Hyper Draw: Modulation
 Hyper Draw: Pitch Bend
 Hyper Draw: Note Velocity
 Hyper Draw: Other …
 Hyper Draw: Autodefine
Conversion of Automation Data
You can convert track automation data into MIDI controller events (Hyper Draw data, in
other words), and vice-versa. This allows you to move control data from regions in the
Arrange area to the track-based automation system, or the reverse. This is useful for
mirroring the Hyper Draw information—being used to control filter cutoff (on an
external MIDI synthesizer)—with an identical automation curve that controls the
Intensity parameter of a Flanger plug-in on an Apple Loop drum track, as an example.
To convert region controller events to track automation:
1 Select the region.
2 Choose one of the following commands in the Options > Track Automation menu:
 Move Current Region Data To Track Automation: Moves the currently visible MIDI
controller data (volume, for example) of the selected region to the track automation
system.
 Move All Region Control Data To Track Automation: Moves all MIDI controller data of
the selected region to the track automation system.
To convert track automation data into controller events:
1 Select the region that you want to copy the controller events into.
2 Choose one of the following commands in the Options > Track Automation menu:
 Move Current Track Automation Data To Region: Converts the active track automation
parameter into MIDI controller events, and copies it to the selected region.
 Move All Track Automation Data To Region: Converts all track automation parameters
into MIDI controller events, and copies them to the selected region
Note: Only track automation data that falls within the boundaries of the selected
region is converted.
