264 Automation and Editing Envelopes

dragging is in the current selection, all other breakpoints in the selection will follow the

movement.

To Move all Breakpoints Within the Selection, Drag Any One of Them.

Your movement is constrained by the neighboring breakpoints unless you hold down the

[Shift] modiﬁer while dragging, which will eliminate breakpoints as you wipe over them.

Holding down the [CTRL](PC) / [CMD](Mac) modiﬁer while dragging switches to a ﬁner

resolution.

•Hold [Shift] and drag a line segment between two breakpoints to move it vertically, without

affecting the breakpoint’s horizontal position. You can also hold the mouse pointer near

(but not on) the line segment in order to move it vertically. If the line segment is in the cur-

rent selection, the envelope moves vertically across the selected timespan and Live inserts

breakpoints at the selection’s edges to make sure the move only affects the selected part of

the envelope.

Dragging an Envelope Line Segment Moves the Segment Vertically.

•Hold [ALT](PC) / [ALT](Mac) and drag a line segment to curve the segment. Double-click

while holding [ALT](PC) / [ALT](Mac) to return the segment to a straight line.
