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 to
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.
• You can also set the curve period freely by holding down Shift when you insert events
in Sine, Triangle, or Square mode. Activate Snap, Shift-click and drag to set the length
of one period. The period length will be a multiple of the quantize value.
Paint Mode
In Paint mode, you can draw in multiple notes.
The quantize value determines the density of created controller curves. For very smooth
curves, use a small quantize value or deactivate Snap. However, this creates a large number
of MIDI events, which can cause MIDI playback to stutter in some situations. A medium-low
density is often sufficient.
