Note: MIDI envelopes you create in the Piano Roll Notes pane and MIDI envelopes you create
in the Track view Clips pane are actually separate envelopes, even if they control the same
parameter. Both kinds of envelopes are visible in the Clips pane, and should generally not be
used to control the same parameter. You can convert Piano Roll view envelopes to Track view
envelopes by selecting the time range and tracks that the Piano Roll envelopes occupy, then
use the Track view
Clips > Convert MIDI Controllers To Envelopes command.
