70 SCREEN ELEMENTS
These special functions enable all important functions to be reached quickly, and
accidental movement of an object cannot occur.
Curve Mode
This mode is strictly for editing automation curves (view page 327). This mode may be
opened temporarily via "Universal/range" mode by pressing and holding down the hyphen
"-" key.
Place the cursor over a curve and click with the left mouse button to set a new curve point.
Curve points that have already been set can be moved easily using drag & drop.
In case you want to select several curve points for editing, simply span a range in the
desired length. This is similar to using the object lasso, but for curve points. You can also
select curve points vertically over multiple tracks.
Object Mode
This mode allows you to move objects and edit their start & end positions, the fade in &
fade out phases, and the object volume.
Object mode is especially useful together with range mode, which may be accessed
temporarily from within it. Press and hold the period key "." while using range mode. Once
you let it go, Samplitude switches back to range mode.
Detailed information about how to assign keyboard shortcuts for temporary function is
provided in the menu reference, help file, or in the "manual.pdf" documentation under
"Menu File -> Program Preferences -> Edit Keyboard Shortcuts and Menu (view page
488)".
Object/Curve Mode
In this mode, objects may be moved and curves may be edited with the left mouse button.
Mouse Mode Samplitude 4.0
Use this function to switch to the Samplitude 4.0 mouse mode. The right mouse button
then controls object functions, and the left one controls range manipulations.
Detailed information about how the functions of the individual mouse modes is provided in
the menu reference, help file, or in the "manual.pdf" documentation under "Menu > File
options -> Program settings -> VIP mouse mode" (view page 505).
