The horizontal time and vertical amplitude scales are updated when you modify the
“Delay”, “Speed” and “Amp” controllers. A vertical bar makes it possible to follow the
course along the curve when you are in the playing phase in order to be able to set these
various parameters in a more intuitive way.
The posted units are:
• Time in seconds on the horizontal scale. The modification of the “delay” parameter
shifts the displayed units, and the modification of the “speed” parameter modifies
the time scale.
• The relative amplitude of the parameter variation. This amplitude is posted in
percents, relative with the maximum range of the parameter. Thus, you can vary
the automated parameter on its entire value range with the amplitude set to the
maximum. The automation values exceeding the allowed maximum value for the
parameter won’t be taken into account, and then the parameter will be limited to
this maximum value.
5.1.1.7 Drawing tools
 To select a drawing tool, you can use the bottom left button of the draw zone, or
right-click (Windows), click and press the Ctrl key (Mac) on the drawing zone to
display a menu with the different tools.
Pencil Freely draw a curve with the shape that you want.
Eraser Delete the values you put on the editor.
Line Trace a straight line.
Curve Trace curves with different shapes, by varying its amplitude, direction
and curve. You can use the curve tool in the following way:
 Click on the origin point of the desired curve. While keeping
the mouse button pressed, move the cursor towards the
second desired curve.
 By releasing the mouse button, you can now modify the line
curve between the two points previously defined. A new click
will validate the curve you have established.
 You can also redraw a curve starting from the second point of
the preceding curve, by clicking and immediately releasing the
mouse button. Then by moving the cursor, a curve
automatically appears which you can set the curve in the same
way.
Noise The noise tool allows you to add noise to the modulation. This signal
is added to the already present curve. The added noise amplitude is
proportional to the distance of the mouse cursor from the principal
curve axis. To add noise, click on the curve. For less noise, bring the
horizontal axis closer to the curve; to add more noise, move away
from the horizontal axis.
Sine
Allows you to draw a centered sinusoid on the horizontal axis. Click on
the drawing zone where you’d like to begin the sinusoid, move the
mouse cursor while holding the mouse button, and slide with the
