Selecting and drawing events
Combi tool:
Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + 1
The mouse cursor button provides you with a combi tool. Use it to select, change values,
and draw freehand and uniform lines.
Click a position on the controller editor and start drawing horizontally, and two red vertical
lines will appear. The first indicates the starting point of the selection and the second
displays the end point. All events located within the limits are now selected and displayed
in red.
Individual events may also be selected by clicking the respective bar.
To delete selected events in the controller editor, press the "Del" key or the back space
key.
Other editing options with the combi tool:
Click on the bar end: The controller value may now be adjusted by dragging vertically.
Hold the "Shift" key down while dragging, and all of the selected events will be set to the
same value.
Alt + drag (with the pencil): This activates freehand drawing, and the mouse cursor
becomes the pencil. Detailed envelopes, ramps, and grades may be created by dragging in
the respective controller range.
Shift + drag (with the cross hairs): This activates line drawing and the mouse pointer
becomes a cross hairs. Create envelopes, ramps and grades, or set all of the events to the
same value by dragging horizontally.
Draw freehand:
Shortcut key: Ctrl + 2
This activates freehand drawing; the mouse pointer becomes a pencil. Detailed envelopes,
ramps, and grades may be created by dragging in the respective controller range. Correct
curves during drawing by dragging backwards. Any existing (multi) selection is ignored.
Create crescendi or decrescendi using velocity curves, for example.
Single clicking creates a new ramp which reaches up to the next controller event.
