Here is how it looks when On Stop is set to HOLD:
In this case the red line continues at the same value to the end of the screen, because this value will be
written to the end of the project.
Editing Automation Curves
Automation data can be edited graphically using the mouse. To do this, click the
Edit
button.
There are two ways to edit, Events and Draw.
Events
To edit Events, click on the
Events
button.
Events are shown as red squares. Note that each event is a value of the parameter. After an event the
value stays constant until just before the next event, when it ramps up or down to the next value. When
events are close together, as shown above, they are joined by a smooth line, reflecting this ramp.
Otherwise the values are held constant and shown with a horizontal line.
While Events are displayed you may do any of the following:
Move an individual event with the mouse.
You may change the event value (move up or down) or its timecode (move left or right). The
timecode position is bounded by the next and previous events.
The timecode and current value of the event are shown in the Automation Edit group of the
Smart Pane.
