Using Automated Curves in Tracktion

[artlowell]

I hope there are some other Tracktion users in this forum .

I'm learning how to use multis (SampleTank) in Tracktion. It has made a huge difference in how Tracktion performs and it makes for a nice tidy and flexible edit. However, there is one issue that I haven't figured out how to solve.

I'll talk about the tune I'm working on now. It uses one SampleTank multi (the same multi on every track) with 9 instruments and I am using automated curves from the master controller list. It's a pretty convenient way to do mixes and other nuances. (a note and perhaps a tip: I like the SampleTank sample player and I strongly dislike the Kontact sample player. If there is a GPO instrument that I really want to use, I have found it worth the while to use Tracktion to create a sample that can be imported into SampleTank).

In this particular tune, I started with the final part of the tune and I needed to move the clips for that part over to the right so that i could make room for the preceding part. It was no problem to move the clips, but even with auto-lock turned on, it left all my automated curves behind. The Tracktion manual says that the automated curve belongs to the filter that is on a particular track. In this case, any filters I am using exist inside a rack along with the intrument that it goes with.

Is there any way that I can connect the curve with the instrument in such a way that it will move when the clip moves?

The problem can be worked around by copying and pasting the curve to the new position, but this is a little cumbersome.
