Editing
The Key Editor
In the controller lane editor, so called smart spots appear on the borders of the editor.
These smart spots allow you to activate a specific editing mode:
• To move the whole selection up/down or left/right, click on a controller event
inside the editor and drag the curve.
• By pressing [Ctrl]/[Command] when clicking and dragging, you can restrict the
direction to horizontal or vertical movement, depending on the direction in which
you start dragging.
Editing mode To activate this mode… Description
Move Vertically Click in an empty area on
the upper border of the
editor.
This mode allows you to move the
entire curve up or down, which is
useful to boost or attenuate an
otherwise perfect curve.
Scale Vertically Click the smart spot in the
middle of the upper border
of the editor.
Use this mode to relatively scale
the curve, i.
e. to raise or lower the
values in percent (not by absolute
amounts).
Tilt the left/right part of
the curve
Click the smart spot in the
upper left/right corner of
the editor.
These modes allow you to tilt the
left or the right part of the curve,
respectively. This is useful if the
curve form is exactly the way you
want it, but the start or end needs
to be boosted or attenuated a bit.
Compress the left/right
part of the curve
[Alt]/[Option]-click the smart
spot in the upper left/right
corner of the editor.
These modes allow you to
compress the left or the right part
of the curve.
Scale Around Absolute
Center
Click the smart spot in the
middle of the right border of
the editor.
This mode allows you to scale the
curve around the absolute center,
i.
e. horizontally around the center
of the editor.
Scale Around Relative
Center
[Alt]/[Option]-click the smart
spot in the middle of the
right border of the editor.
This mode allows you to scale the
curve relative to its center.
Stretch Click and drag in the lower
part of the editor (not
available for Velocity lanes).
This allows you to stretch the
selected controller events.
