The Envelope Editing and Node Editing
Menus
The Envelope Editing menu appears when you move the cursor over an envelope
until a double-ended arrow appears under it, and right-click the envelope.
The Node Editing menu is almost identical, and appears when you move the
cursor over a node until a cross appears under it and right-click. The menus
contain the following options:
Menu Option... What it Does...
Jump (Envelope
Editing menu only)
This choice causes the envelope to make a ninety degree
jump between two nodes. SONAR displays jumps with a
dotted line, meaning that there is automation data at the
nodes where the dotted line begins and ends, but not
where the dotted line itself is.
Linear (Envelope
Editing menu only)
This choice draws a straight line between two nodes.
Fast Curve (Envelope
Editing menu only)
This choice draws a curve between the two nodes that
changes value rapidly at first, but more slowly toward the
end of the curve.
Slow Curve (Envelope
Editing menu only)
This choice draws a curve between two nodes that
changes value slowly at first, but more rapidly toward the
end of the curve
Add Node (Envelope
Editing menu only)
This choice adds a node, which is a point on the line that
you can drag, to the place on the envelope where you
right-clicked.
Hide Envelope This choice hides the envelope that you right-clicked. You
can re-display the envelope by right-clicking in the same
track and choosing Envelopes-Show Track Envelopes-
(name of the envelope you want to show) from the Clips
pane popup menu.
Assign Envelope-
(name of the
parameter you want to
control)
This choice reassigns the envelope to control the
parameter that you choose.
Delete Envelope This choice deletes the envelope.
Clear All This choice deletes everything from the envelope except
the first node.
