Edit/Move markers:
Basically you can edit the „level“ and „curve“ parameters by entering values into the input fields or
using your mouse (click and hold the value and drag up or down) as usual.
In addition you can edit and move the markers with simply with your mouse. Therefore click
and hold the marker you want to edit and drag it to a new position. The „level“ and „position“
parameters will change accordingly.
If you want to move multiple markers simultaneously, press and hold the „alt“ key before you select
a marker. Now also all markers to the right of the selected marker get selected (red color) and you
can move them to the new position.
To keep the assigned distance between two markers you want to move, simply click and hold the
green connecting line between the 2 markers (the color changes into red). If you then drag the two
selected markers to a new position you will notice, that their (time) distance will not change.
TIP: For the fine-tuning of markers you can also press and hold the „shift“ key before you
select a marker. If you now move the marker any changes will be made decimal places
accurately.
You can generally assign if the Free Envelope gets display „unipolar“ or „bipolar“. The only
difference is, that in „bipolar“ mode also negative values of markers get displayed, what makes you
work much easier if the assigned range for your Flexible Modifier destination contains negative and
positive values.
EXAMPLE: Your Flexible Modifier destination is „pitch“ and the assigned range is from „0“
to „+10“ semitones. Thus the unipolar Free Envelope is quite enough, since the
„level“ value „0%“ corresponds to „0“ semitones and the value „100%“
corresponds to „+10“ semitones.
If you now assign the „pitch“ range from „-10“ to „+10“ and still work in the
unipolar mode, you have to keep in mind that now the „level“ value „0%“ means
„-10“ semitones, the „level“ value „50%“ means „0“ semitones and the „level“
value „100%“ means „+10“ semitones. This makes it quite difficult since you
always have to think about the value range.
If you switch to the bipolar mode, the Free Envelope display will also include
negative values. In our example now the „level“ value „0%“ means „0“ semitones,
„-100%“ means „-10“ semitones and „100%“ means „+10“ semitones.
Use the „sync“ button to synchronize the Free Envelope to your host application or to Independence
internally. If activated, the upper timeline of the editing display and the „position“ value will change
accordingly. The minimal valid value for the sync option is 1/128.
The „retr.“ (retrigger) button lets you select if you want to start the Free Envelope progression
always from the beginning for each newly played note.
The „loop“ button activates the permanent loop within the two fixed loop markers, visible by the
two horizontal dashed lines.
