Parabola mode
If you click and drag on the automation track with the Line tool in Parabola
mode, you can create more natural curves and fades.
NOTE
The result depends on the direction from which you draw the parabolic curve.
Sine, Triangle, or Square mode
If you click and drag on the automation track with the Line tool in Sine,
Triangle, or Square mode and snap to grid is activated, the period of the
curve (the length of one curve cycle) is determined by the grid setting. If you
press [Shift] and drag, you can set the period length manually, in multiples of
the grid value.
NOTE
The Line tool can only be used for ramp type automation curves.
Editing Automation Data
Automation events can be edited much like other events.
You can cut, copy, paste, and nudge events, etc.
• If you move an event or part on a track and you want the automation events to
follow automatically, select Edit > Automation follows Events.
All automation events for the track between the start and end of the event or
part are moved. Any automation events at the new position are overwritten.
Selecting Automation Events
• To select an automation event, click it with the Object Selection tool.
The event turns black, and you can drag it in any direction between two
events.
• To select multiple events, [Shift]-click the events or drag a selection rectangle
with the Object Selection tool.
All events inside the selection rectangle are selected and the automation track
editor becomes available.
• To select all automation events on an automation track, right-click the
automation track and select Select All Events from the context menu.
