Terry Kelley Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) A friend sent me a bundle and it has something I've never seen before. The R for Read Automation is grayed out and it has a slash (on all tracks.) I can add automation and it reads it but I've never seen the grayed out R with the slash. Toggling it just changes the density of the gray. Any idea what this means? (Beside, yeah, ya didn't read the manual did you? Admit it!)

Actually, I looked up "automation" in the most recent Theme Editing Guide (v.2020.10.13) rather than the Reference Manual. Do the buttons on page 24 look like what you are seeing? Edited October 17, 2020 by User 905133 changed page 23 to page 24; its on page 23 in an earlier version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starship Krupa Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) From p. 1650 of The Cakewalk Reference Guide: "Read Automation and Write Automation buttons are fully colored when they affect the entire channel strip. If only a subset of the channel strip’s controls are affected, the Read Automation button and Write Automation buttons are only partially colored." I found this by searching for "read automation."

Starship Krupa Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Searching for the same string in the online documentation rewards us with this: https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR&language=3&help=Views.36.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Kelley Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) A subset of controls .... hmmmm I've only seen blue for Automation Read. I've never seen it gray or with a slash and the documentation doesn't explain how to even get that to happen. This is the first time I've seen it. I wonder if it has something to so with some controller he has. Frankly, I don't think he knows what caused this.
