Mouse functions and mouse modes 91
A double click on the volume or panorama curve creates a new handle, and another
double click clears it. Selected handles may also be cleared by selecting the option
”clear handles” in menu ”edit”.
You may select a volume or panorama handle by a single click. You will select further
handles by holding "Ctrl" while clicking.
When you click the track on the right beside an object, you can spread a rectangle
with the mouse held down. This selects all volume and panorama points contained
within (rubber band function).
You may move selected volume and panorama handles with the mouse. To move
several handles, "Ctrl" must be kept depressed.
Curves / Object mode
This mode differs from the universal mode only in that the track is not split in two
halves.
Play cursor, fields, and zooming are not set in the upper part of the track, but rather in
the beat line above the first track. All other functions are handled by the universal
mode (tracks are split).
The curves/object mode is less complicated to use and is therefore a default setting.
Cut mode
Right mouse button: Context menu
Left mouse button: You can use the mouse cursor like a pair of scissors to crop
objects.
Pitchshift / Timestretch mode
Right mouse button: Context menu
Left mouse button:The lower right tab allows an object to be compressed or
stretched. A timestretching effect is created: The object is not played as a loop or
shorter version, but simply in a different play tempo.
Using the center tab, the pitch can be altered via pitchshifting.
