Parameter Locks on Thru Tracks

Hey guy. Is it possible to place parameter locks on Thru tracks? I was hoping to have patterns with different amounts of reverb on them for a Thru track but can’t figure out how to do so. Thank you

Use the kind of trigs you get when entering [FUNC]+[TRIG 1…16] - the dark green ones. I think the light green ones work too, but I have forgotten the names and differences.

Add a trig using this method. Then hold it and tweak the reverb params you want.

The red trigs only re-open the input, on tracks with Thru Machines. You only need one red trig per “[PLAY] -> [double STOP]” cycle. You could add more red trigs to the track, and p-lock them as normal. That might work, but the green [FUNC]+[TRIG] kind better express what you want.

The dark green trigs also work on tracks with Neighbour machines; you can p-lock FX on those tracks too.

Thank you very much!! I was only pressing FUNC once and so was going to the yellow Trig and not the green. All sorted now :slight_smile: Thank you!!!
