Envelope

An envelope is represented by a break-point function (BPF). Some operators can apply BPFs to musical parameters, such as rhythms or intervals.

To visualize the ( x y ) coordinates of a point in the curve, hover the mouse over it. Coordinates will be displayed in the upper right corner.

To hide the curve, uncheck the Line option.

The palette of the editor is similar to that of the maquette.

• Arrow tool : to select and create points in the curve.
• Zoom tool : to zoom in on a selection of the curve.
• Hand tool : to browse the editor.
• Curve tool : to move the whole curve within the space.

The button allows to reinitialize the editor axes in order to fit and display the whole set of points of the envelope.

To add points in the curve, Alt click anywhere in the editor.

The Smoothing preview option allows to visualize a smoothed curve computed by interpolation between the initial points.

• Degree : defines the "smoothness" of the curve (how many adjacent points are used in the interpolation).

• Resolution : defines the number of points in the smoothed curve.
