Excluding a pattern from an automation envelope

[Gloudas]

Im wondering if its possible to create a master volume envelope (or any for that matter) but exclude certain patterns that the evelope includes. For example, I've created a master volume clip which I plan on using to have everything come down while one pattern stays loud. I dunno if its like layers where you could set or possible unset certain patterns which are relevent to its function.... the only alternative I can think of is creating a layer and setting its children as all instruments except the ones I want to stay loud, and then I can use that layer to bring down all but one pattern. Dunno, is there some simple way of doing this?

You use the word "pattern" allot, if your refer...
