Using Synth Automation in Beatbox 2...?

I'm trying to figure out, how can I do synth automation in BeatBox 2? I've looked around and tried some stuff, but I had no luck figuring out how to at all. Anyways, I want to be able to change the pitch/pan/etc. on a track, so I can do things like have a bass play something with more than the same note. So how can I do this?

Yea...I couldn't figure out the synth animation in Beatbox just by playing with it either. Just read the manual starting at page 118 and you'll see how easy it really is. It's as simple as setting note velocity.

You can create basslines in the Drum and Bass synth or in the MIDI editor.

You can edit the pitch of any object in the arrangement using the Time Processor.

The Pan of an object can be set in the Stereo Processor or animated in the Dynamic Effects Editor.

It's too bad they got rid of the 3D Effects from earlier versions (MM-10) that made simple animation (using presets) so much easier.
