Ardour offers two modes for connecting automation control points: <kbd
|
|
class=menu>Discrete</kbd> and <kbd class=menu>Linear</kbd>. The mode is
|
|
changed by a right click on the automation lane header and choosing the
|
|
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).
|

|
When recording automation via MIDI (for example a pitch bend from a keyboard),
|
|
Ardour always uses discreet mode.

|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<kbd class=menu>Linear</kbd> mode has straight lines betwen each point on the
|
|
automation track. This is useful for gradual shifts in automation lanes,
|
|
such as gradual increase in volume on the fader.
|
|
|
|
Linear is the default mode for most automation lanes created via mouse input
|
|
(versus recording via MIDI).
