Line tool
The Line tool lets you draw straight automation envelopes and “paint” MIDI notes at defined
resolutions and intervals.
For additional draw settings, see “Specifying note durations” on page 468.
To select the Line tool
Do one of the following:
• Click the Line tool button in the Control Bar.
• Press T to display the Tools HUD, then select the Line tool.
• Press F9.
Note: The Line tool does not work on audio clips, MIDI clips or AudioSnap transients.
Note: The F9 shortcut key cycles through all Draw tools (Freehand/Line/Sine/Triangle/Square/
Saw/Random). If another Draw tool is selected, press F9 again until the Line tool is selected.
