Cubase supports bézier automation curves that allow you to create smooth transitions between automation events. This way, you can edit linear ramp curves with more precision, flexibility, and intuition.

Prerequisite

The Object Selection tool is active.

Procedure

  1. Move the mouse pointer on the linear ramp curve segment that you want to edit.

    A handle is shown on the curve segment.

    Note

    If the automation events are next to each other on an almost horizontal or vertical line, or if they are too close to each other, the handle is not available.

  2. Click and drag, with the mouse button pressed to modify the shape of the curve segment.
  3. As soon as you are satisfied with the result, release the mouse button.

Result

A smooth transition curve is created, reflecting your edits.

If you are not satisfied with the result and want to start over again from the original linear curve segment, double-click the handle.

After Completing This Task

For even more precise editing, add new automation events to your bézier curve segment.

This creates new segments that you can smoothen.
