i was playing with battery in fruityloops, when i decided to hit record,then randomize batteries settings. When i looked in the automation list, i saw that there was an automation channel to control the depth of the modulation matrix. Controlling this would be very usefull to me, but if i simply press record,then tweak these settings, they are not recorded. Im currently erasing all of the excess recorded automation in my randomized battery .flp (two hours in- close to a thousand parameters) so i can record this parameter.

Now, why does this feature not get automated unless i randomize it and record it? What gets triggered that i cant do manually? For extra points, what are the 'internal' and 'unknown' parameters controlling?

A fairly esoteric question, but ill love you long time if you can show me how to control mod depth without this ridiculous workaround. thanks.

anyone know? does this even make sense?
