Full Stop key “.”: If this key is pressed, Samplitude changes to the object mode temporarily.
Objects can be selected and moved now.
Minus key “-“: Pressing this key temporarily changes Samplitude into the Curve mode.
Now, the volume or panorama curves can be edited.
Those two special functions ensure that all fundamental functions are quickly accessible,
yet unintentional moving of the object can be ruled out. Hence the addition “Safe mode”.
Object mode
In this mode, objects can be moved.
It's especially useful when used in conjunction with the Object mode from which it can be
opened by pressing the period key (.) when Range mode is on. Once you let it go,
Samplitude switches back to the Range mode.
"Curve edit" mode
This mode only allows automation curves to be edited. This mode can be opened
temporarily from "Universal/Range" mode by pressing the hyphen ("-") key.
If the cursor is on top of a curve, clicking with the left mouse button will set a new curve
point. Curve points already 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 and Curve mode
In this mode, objects and curves can be edited using the left mouse button.
Samplitude 4.00 Mouse Mode
Use this function to switch to "Studio 4.00 Mouse" mode option. The right mouse button
then controls object functions, the left one controls manipulations of the range.
In the "Options -> Program Settings -> VIP Mouse Mode (view page 688)" you can obtain
detailed information on the functions of each mouse mode.
"Object cut" mode
Click on the object to separate the corresponding position. If the grid is switched on, then
the scissors tool which appears will move according to the grid settings.
Under "System options -> Keyboard -> Special keys -> Temporary switch for cut mode",
you can specify a keyboard shortcut via which "Object cut" mode remains active (provided
the shortcut is held depressed).
"Pitchshift/Timestretch" mouse mode
The object handles below to the right and those in the middle of the object can be used for
directly setting the playback speed and pitch. Advanced functions are available for tempo
marker manipulation in the timeline.
