To the right of the scrollbar, you can find three numbered buttons that allow you to save and
load zoom snapshots.
• To save the current state of the editor as snapshot, Shift-click one of the numbered
buttons to the right of the scrollbar.
• To load a zoom snapshot, click the corresponding button. The button color changes if a
snapshot is active.
NOTE
If you perform any manual zooming or scrolling, the zoom snapshot is deactivated.
Selecting Nodes
• To select a node, click on it in the graphical editor.
The focused node is indicated by a frame. The value fields to the left of the graphical
envelope editor display the parameters of the focused node.
• If multiple nodes are selected, you can use the Env Node pop-up menu to set the focus
to a different node without losing the current selection.
• To add a node to a selection, Shift-click the node. Selected nodes are edited together.
• You can select multiple nodes by drawing a rectangle around the nodes with the
mouse.
• To select all envelope nodes, press Ctrl/Cmd-A
• If the graphical editor has the focus, you can select the next or the previous node with
the left and right arrow keys.
Adjusting the Time Parameter
The Time parameter specifies the period of time between two nodes. Depending on the Sync
mode, the Time parameter is displayed in milliseconds and seconds, or in fractions of beats.
• To set the Time parameter, select the nodes that you want to adjust and enter a value
in the Time field.
• You can also adjust the Time parameter in the graphical envelope editor, by dragging
the nodes left or right, to decrease or to increase the time span.
For a higher resolution, hold Shift while moving the nodes.
To limit the movement to the time axis, that is, to change only the horizontal position of
a node, hold down Ctrl/Cmd while dragging.
Adjusting the Level Parameter
The Level parameter specifies the amplitude of the envelope at the position set by the Time
parameter.
The Amp and Filter envelopes are unipolar. Therefore, the value range for the level is 0 %
to +100 % (positive values only). The Pitch and User envelopes are bipolar. Therefore, the
value range for the level is from -100 % to +100 % (negative and positive values) for these
envelopes. You can change the polarity of the envelopes in the modulation matrix, to map
the range of the amplifier envelope (unipolar) to the Pan parameter (bipolar), for example.
However, the envelopes always display their values with their default polarity.
