Creating Smooth Transitions between Continuous Controller Events

By default, when recording or drawing MIDI continuous controller events, these are inserted as

steps. If this is not what you want, you can create smooth transitions between the events.

PREREQUISITE

You have recorded MIDI data with continuous controller events.

PROCEDURE

1. In the Project window, double-click the MIDI part.

2. In the Key Editor, open the Create Controller Lane menu, and select Show Used

Controllers.

The controller lanes for all controller events that you have recorded are shown in the

controller display.

3. Locate the controller lane of the continuous controller that you want to edit, and select a

controller event.

The info line of the Key Editor displays information about the selected controller event, such

as Type, Start position, Value, Channel, and Curve Type.

4. Do one of the following:

● On the info line, change the option in the Curve Type eld from Step to Ramp/Curve.

NOTE

You can change the curve type for several controller events by selecting them and then

changing the value in the Curve Type eld.

● In the controller display, move the mouse pointer between two controller events and

double-click the handle that appears to change the curve type from Step to Ramp/

Curve.

5. Move the mouse pointer over the ramp, click the handle, and move it upwards or

downwards to change the ramp into a curve shape.

RESULT

The ramp changes into a curve.

When you play back ramps/curves, the data between two MIDI continuous controller events are

interpolated to a suitable MIDI data resolution. You can visualize this by selecting MIDI > Merge

MIDI in Loop or MIDI > Freeze MIDI Modiers, or by exporting the part as a MIDI le.

NOTE

Ramp/Curve controller curves are more demanding on the performance of the application.

AFTER COMPLETING THIS TASK

You can use the controller lane context menu to cut, copy, and paste controller events.
