Special Cut, Copy, Paste, and Clear Commands

Use the four “special” Edit menu commands (Cut Special, Copy Special, Paste Special, and Clear Special) for cutting, copying, pasting, and clearing automation (volume, pan, mute, and plug-in automation) on audio, Auxiliary Input, Master Fader, VCA Master, and Instrument tracks. These commands can also be used for MIDI controller data on MIDI and Instrument tracks. There are also Cut Special, Copy Special, and Clear Special commands for cutting, copying, and clearing clip gain settings (see Clip Gain).

You cannot paste MIDI controller data to automation data nor automation to MIDI.
