<h2>Velocity Sense</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This control defines how much the velocity coming off your MIDI device
|
|
affects clip's volume. At 0%, which is the default, it doesn't matter how
|
|
hard you press a key or a pad, the volume will be what you set it to.
|
|
At 100%, hitting a key as hard as you can produces maximum volume, and
|
|
pressing the key or a pad really softly produces a barely audible sound.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Launch Style</h2>
|
|
|
|
<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.
|
|

<h2>Launch Quantize</h2>
|
|
|
|
<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>
|
|
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>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Cue Isolate</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
When an entire cue is played, all slots that belong to it get triggered.
|
|
<dfn>Solo Isolate</dfn> is a way to disable that for selected slots.
|
|
An isolated slot will only be triggered when either mouse-down or note-on
|
|
event is sent directly to it.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Isolated slots are visually separated from others: they have a linear
|
|
black-to-transparent gradient fill in the background of the trigger button.
