NOTE
If Snap is activated, the Length Quantize value determines the density of created controller
curves. For very smooth curves, use a small Length Quantize value or deactivate Snap. To
avoid over-dense controller curves, which can cause MIDI playback to stutter, use a medium-low
density.
Parabola Mode
In Parabola mode, you can draw events on a parabola curve. This gives more natural curves and
fades. The result depends on the direction from which you draw the parabola.
You can use modifier keys to determine the shape of the parabola curve.
● To reverse the parabola curve, press Ctrl/Cmd.
● To change the position of the whole curve, press Alt.
● To increase or decrease the exponent, press Shift.
NOTE
If Snap is activated, the Length Quantize value determines the density of created controller
curves. For very smooth curves, use a small Length Quantize value or deactivate Snap. To
avoid over-dense controller curves, which can cause MIDI playback to stutter, use a medium-low
density.
Sine, Triangle, and Square Mode
The Sine, Triangle, and Square modes create events with values that are aligned with
continuous curves.
In these modes, the quantize value determines the period of the curve that is the length of one
curve cycle and the Length Quantize value determines the density of the events. The lower the
Length Quantize note value becomes, the smoother the curve gets.
NOTE
If Length Quantize is set to Quantize Link and you enter data in Sine, Triangle or Square
mode, the density of the events depends on the zoom factor.
You can use modifier keys to determine the shape of the curve.
● To change the phase of the beginning of the curve, press Ctrl/Cmd.
● To change the position of the whole curve, press Alt-Ctrl/Cmd.
● To change the maximum position of the triangle curve or the pulse of the square curve in
Triangle and Square mode, press Shift-Ctrl/Cmd. This creates sawtooth curves.
