296 AUTOMATION
In Curve edit mode you can directly draw, move and delete curves with a double click.
The mouse cursor switches between a Hand or Moving tool. If your mouse is not directly
above the curve, you can select an area of automation points using the calculation tool.
In Object / curve mode you can also create new points on the curve, move and delete
curves with a double click. If you move away from the curve using your mouse, you will
automatically switch to object mode, in which you can move objects and edit the start &
end position, the fade-in & fade-out phases, and the object volume.
Detailed information about curve modes can be found in "Screen elements -> Toolbars ->
Mouse mode bar (view page 71)"
Move automation curve with audio/MIDI data
If you want to move your audio material to a new position on the timeline, including the
automation curve, then you will need to attach the automation curve to the object. This can
be done using the "Connect curves with objects" mouse mode. To use it, click on the
eponymous button in the mouse mode toolbar.
You can now move or copy objects together with your curve points.
Note: If you only wish to move or copy the curve points, follow the instructions above and
simply delete the objects once moved/copied. The curves remain intact.
To copy the curve points, simply use "Curve edit" mode and drag out a rectangle by
moving the mouse from right to left over a curve while holding down the mouse button,
then copy the curve points with "Ctrl + C" and insert them into a different track at the
current play cursor position with "Ctrl + V".
Automation/MIDI controller settings
In the "Automation curve" dialog ("Ctrl + Alt + A"), you will find an additional subdialog
"Settings" for configuring all automation settings. There is a range of "Global settings" that
affects all tracks equally.
MIDI resolution: Time constant (in milliseconds) for sending current controller data. When
starting playback, the controller data is transmitted after this time has elapsed if its value
changes (within the frame of 7bit MIDI resolution). During playback, the MIDI controller data
is retrieved and sent to the respective MIDI device.
Timeout for user input: As soon as an available controller is updated, (i.e. new controller
data for this curve is received) previous data (of this curve) is no longer transmitted. If no
further data is transmitted, Samplitude transmits the original data after this time expires.
Note: This sets the fader return time for the write automation modes.
