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

<p>
|
|
<kbd class="menu">Linear</kbd> mode interpolates values between control points
|
|
in a given automation curve by connecting them with straight lines; the values
|
|
played back are derived from the points that lie on the lines thus defined.
|
|
Typically, this is what is desired and is the default mode for all automation
|
|
lanes.

</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<kbd class="menu">Discrete</kbd> mode does <em>no</em> interpolation between
|
|
control points in a given automation curve. The values set by the control
|
|
points do not change until the following control point is reached at which
|
|
time the value is then set to its value; this continues on until there are no
|
|
more control points. Typically this is used for parameters such as mute or
|
|
sustain pedal (e.g., on a MIDI piano track).

<p class="note">
|
|
When recording automation via MIDI (e.g., pitch bend from a MIDI keyboard),
|
|
Ardour always uses discrete mode.
