FINE CONTROL KEYBOARD MODIFIER
Many controls in Digital Performer, such as volume faders in
the Mixing Board, can now be adjusted with finer control by
holding the Command key.
TRIM TOOL FOR CONTINUOUS DATA
The Trim tool can now be used on continuous data, such as
audio track volume, MIDI CCs, and pitch bend.
Figure 15: Trim tool in the Tool palette
When the Trim tool is chosen and the mouse is directly over
continuous data, the Trim tool cursor will change to a hand
with a pointed finger. You can click on a data point, or on the
line segment between data points, and drag it up or down to
trim its value.
Figure 16: Trimming continuous data
If there is a time range selection or object selection of
continuous data, clicking and dragging on one of the selected
line segments or data points will move all of the selected data.
Scaling continuous data
A selection of continuous data can also be scaled with the
Trim tool. When there is a time range or object selection of
continuous data, move the cursor within the selection (but
not directly over a point or line segment) then click and drag
up or down.

Points are automatically added at the boundaries of the
selection to preserve the data before and after the selection.
