This may sound like a noob question, but from what I gather from the FL studio manual you have to record automations as an event and then convert it to an automation. I would love to be able to record an automation clip for the XY controller over multiple patterns (in the playlist) , any way to do this?

As far as I know, you can't. Can't see why this haven't been implemented yet, as it would be an excellent workflow enhancement. Right now you have to do one step extra before I can work with the clips directly. This is of course unless both you and I are missing something obvious.

Thank you very very much for this important information there is this option I never saw it ^^Epiphany wrote:There's the 'convert to automation clip' option in the event editor, but I've never got it to work. YMMV.
By testing it (first make a new pattern e.g. called 'volume automation', click record and select 'notes & automation', klick play and do what you want, stop it, doubleclick on the created pattern in the playlist window, in the popuped event editor window go to menu 'edit' -> 'turn into automation clip', select thresshold & click 'accept') I got a new automation clip in the playlist editor window!
This was a great tip!!!
