<h2>Launch Style</h2>
<p>FIXME THE ENTIRE TABLE</p>
<p>
The <dfn>Launch Style</dfn> defines how you interact with the clip's
playback. Ardour makes a distinction between pressing a button or a key
(the 'down' event for a mouse or the note-on MIDI event) and releasing
a button or a key (the 'up' event for a mouse or the note-off MIDI event).
</p>
<p>
You can setup a trigger slot so that you would press a silicon pad on your
external grid controller, and Ardour would play the clip in that slot
indefinitely on repeat. Or you could set it up so that it would only repeat
that clip as long as you are keeping the pad pressed and stop playing it
as soon as you stop pressing the pad.
</p>

<h2>Launch Quantize</h2>
<p>From 4 bars down to 1/64 bar, and None. FIXME</p>
<p>
This setting defines how long Ardour will wait till beginning the playback
of a clip in a trigger slot. If the transport is already rolling, and
quantization is set to 1 bar, which is the default, Ardour will wait for the
next bar, then start playing the clip. Quantizing to a whole bar or several
bars typically guarantees that downbeats of a drums track and a bassline
track align.
</p>
<p>
The quantization value can be as large as 4 bars and as small as 1/64 bar.
When 'None' is selected, playback with a rolling transport will start
immediately.
</p>
<h2>Legato</h2>
<p>FIXME (also, doesn't work properly yet).</p>
<p>
The <dfn>Legato</dfn> mode helps keeping two clips of the same track in sync
when you switch from one to another. With Legato on, Ardour will pick up
the playback of the second clip at the position where the first one left off.
Please note that quantization applies here.
</p>
