Discussion: Envelope tension points (50 seconds video presentation)

[Reflected]

VOTE HERE: http://forum.cockos.com/project.php?issueid=1411

Implement tension point between every 2 envelope points.

This is pretty simple and it gives extremely smooth, powerful and productive automation results.

some features:
1. dragable by the mouse to increase/decrease the tension.
2. right click on the tension point to reset the tension to default.
3. Stairs and Wave evn shapes will be possible.


Watch it in action: This 1 minute video will give you the best impression:

ps- I requested this before inside request which included many features in the same post (full concept), so I separate it from the other one to simplify.

mousewheel is used for scrolling in the playlist, it can make conflicts.


however, when we will have the long awaited FR "mouse zone editor" it will be personal. everyone happy

Guys, I appreciate your enthusiasm in FRs but you as frequent FR posters (well, some of you guys) should know by now that we'd like to see the results of a discussion in the tracker, but not the discussion itself. Especially not if there's a link to a discussion thread like in this example.

The idea is that everyone (including the devs) can see the gist of an FR at one glance in the FR tracker. (This is done best by the OP editing/updating the original FR issue post with the newest developments/ideas from the discussion.) If a discussion goes over 2 pages in the tracker, the actual form of the FR turns out in the middle of that discussion and maybe even turns into something else at the end of the discussion, the purpose of the (FR-) tracker is almost completely defeated. This in turn can be bad for your FR (because it can't be understood very well, is too much to read for some people, they have to pick the points of the FR out of the discussion and they won't know what belongs to the FR and what not...) as well.

We are dependent of your cooperation there if we don't want to resort to increasingly stupid hard moderation/deletion orgies, access thresholds etc. in order to keep the FR tracker functional. Thanks for your attention.
