when a MIDI or Instrument track is set to one of
the continuous controller types (such as
Volume
or
Pitch Bend
), the data for that track appears in
the form of a line graph with a series of editable
breakpoints. The breakpoints can be dragged to
modify the automation data, and new break-
points can be inserted with the Pencil tool or a
Grabber tool. MIDI and Instrument tracks also
provide Velocity view for editing MIDI veloci-
ties.
