Create automation lane
create_automation_laneBuild an automation lane that records a target parameter’s live sweep into a circular buffer and loops it back on a bar-phase clock for synchronized parameter modulation.
Instructions
Build a per-parameter automation lane that records a live parameter sweep into a circular buffer over N bars, then loops the recording back into the parameter on a bar-phase clock. Two modes: record (sample the target param every cook into a ring buffer) or loop (read the buffer back via Lookup CHOP bound to the target param). Re-calling with the same name and a different mode flips the state without rebuilding the network. Uses Beat CHOP → Select CHOP (rampbar) → Lookup CHOP playback, with COMP storage tracking mode/write_head/armed state. Returns a summary plus a JSON block with container path, mode, samples count, target, and any warnings.
