Hi all,

I have accidentally pressed the global 'write' button when recording clips in the matrix, and my left hand has brushed the touch strip (several times...) which was assigned to the TouchFX, and seemingly the Band Pass Filter on the main Outputs.

And I now have what I think is 'Global' automation affecting my tracks. When I press shift and disable automation, it disables the effects I can hear.

However, when I go to 'Grid' mode, I cannot see any of the automation, and therefore cannot delete it!

Would someone be able to tell me where to find Touch FX Automation, or possibly Global Automation, and how to delete it?

It would be very much appreciated!!

Thanks @Lampdog

I did check the list, and I'm on the selected track.

In the list I can see the information for: Notes, Track Automation (just pad X and y data), and MPCe data, but nothing to do with the Touch Strip, or the Touch FX.

I've managed to get it to work now.

I hit 'Erase', and then select the Sequence, and change the track to 'Output 1/2'.

Under the 'Erase' heading I can select 'Automation' .

Under 'Parameter' it reads 'All', but if I go into that menu I can see that there is data for:
Trk: 1: Touch Enable (TouchFX)
Trk: 1: Touch Value (TouchFX)

And then if I press 'Do it', the Automation is deleted, so that's all a massive win!!

However, is it possible to actually 'see' this automation anywhere? Like in a list or grid?

Or can you not see it because it's on an output, and not on a track/clip/etc?
