This is really fun to use and works pretty well when performing live. But I can't figure out how to record the automation of the effects onto the master track. Is there a way to do this, or a workaround that enables us to capture the MIDI data into the Live Set? This would be really useful when producing, remixing and adding variations to a song.
Hi M3llo, glad you´re enjoying the device! There´s no way to record Automation on the Masterbus, you could set an Audiotrack to resample and print your performance to Audio.

However, the good news is that a pretty huge update is shortly to be released. It´s now possible to use Punchline on any track (one per track), this means you can record the automation into clips, all of it with full visual feedback on the grid. There´s much more to this release, stay tuned!
I just realized that you actually can record your performance withPunchline as automation into Arrangement view!
Thanks for the quick reply - really looking forward to the update! :)

That's great news about recording in the arrangement view. This is what I've been trying to figure out and couldn't get to work, because we can't arm the master bus in Live. Could you share how you did it? Forgive me if I'm being silly and overlooking something obvious.
Sure, no problem!
You don´t have to arm the master bus, it´s just automation we´re recording and it works just like any other automation you´re recording, except that the automation envelopes are written into the master bus track in arrangement view.

This video should cover it pretty well, good luck!
