Edit Curve | Create custom dynamic modulation envelopes
|  | Editor for breakpoint curves that serve as a source for parameter modulation. It is accessed from envelope toolicons in process windows. It was introduced for the spectral patcher and is not very well integrated into the time domain modules. One day it will be replaced by a completely new editor...
| Curve: Create new breakpoints by double-clicking. Breakpoints can be dragged, alt+click deletes a point. The curve is divided into three parts: Attack, Sustain, Release. The attack and release part refer to the beginning and ending of the modulation while the sustain part fills the rest. If the modulated middle part is longer than the sustain curve the sustain curve is looped automatically. Curve space: All three parts can be turned on and off through the checkbox gadgets. The ParamFields determine the length of each segment whereby the right border of each curve segment corresponds to the ParamField value. E.g., if the curve modulates a parameter for 20 seconds and attack and release length are set to "10%" then the attack lasts 2 seconds, the sustain part lasts 16 seconds and the release lasts 2 seconds. Breakpoint coordinates: Displays the position of the selected breakpoint. When you change the ParamField the point is moved automatically. Toolbar: Popup menus for loading and saving settings, presets and options. Refer to a the basic chapter on process windows. Note that the "parameter spaces" are saved with the presets. Recalling a preset with a space not compatible with the one required for a specific modulation may cause unpredictable results! Processbar: Buttons for aborting and confirming the editing process. Known bugs: None To be done: This thing is complete bullshit. It should be replaced by a new curve model and a new editor (-sigh-).
