Functions of the Individual Mouse Modes in Detail
VIP Mouse Modes – This submenu makes the following selections available. (These are also accessible
via the Mouse Modes Toolbar
):
Universal Mode – This is the default mode in MAGIX music editor 2
. All necessary functions can be executed with the left mouse button. The right mouse button accesses a
context sensitive pop-up menu.
The vertical position within each VIP track determines between Object handling or marker and range
manipulation. The upper half of a track lets you select ranges and set the position of the play cursor. The
lower half of the track makes object selection and manipulation possible. Object handles, and volume
and panorama curve events take precedence and can be modified at any position within the track.
Range Mode (Secure Mode) –
This mode lets you only modify the ranges and the play cursor position. Using two special keys,
additional functionality is available:
Period Key ‘.’: If the period key is pressed, MAGIX music editor 2
changes temporarily into the Object Mode. Once in the Object Mode you can easily select and
manipulate objects.
Minus Key ‘-‘: Pressing this key, MAGIX music editor 2
temporarily changes into the Curve Mode. In the Curve Mode, you can change the volume and
panorama automation curves.
These special functions provide a way to quickly reach all of the important functions, while protecting an
object from accidental moving. This is why this mode is also called ‘Secure Mode’
!
Object and Curve Mode –
The Object and Curve mode allow you to manipulate objects and automation curves with the left mouse
button.
Volume Draw Mode – The left mouse button draws volume automation curves. Before using this mode,
make sure the ‘V’
button for the desired track is active.
Panorama Draw Mode – The left mouse button draws panorama automation curves. Before using this
mode, make sure the ‘P’
button for the desired track is active.
Curve Mode –
The Curve mode allows you to manipulate existing volume and panorama automation curves.
