Select automation in Logic Pro for iPad
After you create automation points and the resulting curves, you can use move and copy commands and other procedures to edit automation points. For many of those edit tasks, you have to select the automation points first and then apply the various actions.
To better select and edit automation, zoom in using pinch gestures, or use Apple Pencil for more precise editing.

in the Tracks area menu bar (for track automation) or the Editors area menu bar (for region automation).Tap the Move button
in the menu bar of one of the two areas, then do one of the following:Tap an automation point.
That automation point and the line before and after it is highlighted.
Tap the automation curve (between two automation points).
The automation points at the beginning and end of that line segment plus the lines before the first point and after the second point are highlighted.
You can also tap the Pencil button
, then touch and hold an automation point to select it.That automation point and the line before and after it is highlighted.
With the Move button selected, tap outside the automation curve to deselect all automation points.

To create a new selection, repeat the steps, and the previously selected automation points will be deselected.
