<p>
Ardour offers two modes for connecting automation points: <kbd
class=menu>Discrete</kbd> and <kbd class=menu>Linear</kbd>. To change the mode
right click on the automation lane header and choose your mode from the mode
menu.
</p>
<p>
<kbd class=menu>Discrete</kbd> mode has stair steps between each point on the
automation track. This is useful for on-off automation like mute or sustain
pedal (on a piano MIDI track).
</p>
<p>
If you record automation via MIDI (for example a pitch bend from a keyboard),
Ardour always uses discreet mode.
</p>
<p>
<kbd class=menu>Linear</kbd> mode has straight lines betwen each point on the
automation track. This is useful when you want gradual shifts in your
automation lanes, such as gradual increase in volume on the fader.
