What it Does...

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.
This choice draws a straight line between two nodes.
This choice draws a curve between the two nodes that changes
value rapidly at first, but more slowly toward the end of the curve.

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.
This command creates 2 pairs of envelope nodes, one at the
beginning of the current selection, and one at the end. Each pair of
nodes is only 2 mSec apart. You can easily adjust the selected part
of the envelope by dragging the selected envelope segment up or
down. See "Adding Nodes at a Selection" on page 452.

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.
