Bug with panning, FX and volume envelope ribbons? -ACID Product Family

Subject:Bug with panning, FX and volume envelope ribbons? Posted by: Bat Date:7/25/2000 4:31:00 PM Is this a bug as it's really annoying. Setup a pan, fx or volume envelope on a sample by hitting the shortcut keys to show them visibily. Now here's the problem, you're staring at 4 envelopes and to get to say, volume, you have to turn off the other three. Do that with the shortcut keys. great, all fine and dandy, change your volume, but turn the envelopes back on and WHAMMO - All your settings have been reset to 0. Simply put, just hit V, change the volume, hit V (off) and V (on) and it's been reset to 0. I think this is a bug? Is there a hidden setting to stop this? thanks bat

I will mention this to our Acid Team to see if we can find a better way of doing it in future versions. I don't use Acid much, but, when I do, I usually insert my volume envelope first, make my changes, and then I add panning afterwards, and make those changes. As long as you move the last inserted envelope a bit up or a bit down, you can work around the start position. Thanks.

When one uses the V shortcut, what is happening is that it creates a volume envelope. When one hits V again, it destroys the volume envelope. If you're looking to HIDE the envelope, rather than removing it, just choose View\|DisplayEnvelopes\|Volume from the pull- down menus. This is slightly more cumbersome than the hotkey V, I agree. For future versions, we'll see if there can be a shortcut dedicated to displaying/removing envelopes..

Is this a bug as it's really annoying.

Setup a pan, fx or volume envelope on a sample by hitting
the shortcut keys to show them visibily.

Now here's the problem, you're staring at 4 envelopes and
to get to say, volume, you have to turn off the other three.

Do that with the shortcut keys.

great, all fine and dandy, change your volume, but turn the
envelopes back on and WHAMMO - All your settings have been
reset to 0.

Simply put, just hit V, change the volume, hit V (off) and
V (on) and it's been reset to 0.

I think this is a bug? Is there a hidden setting to stop
this?

thanks

Hello Peter.

I don't use Acid much, but, when I do, I usually insert my volume
envelope first, make my changes, and then I add panning afterwards,
and make those changes. As long as you move the last inserted
envelope a bit up or a bit down, you can work around the start

Hi Peter-

When one uses the V shortcut, what is happening is that it creates a
volume envelope. When one hits V again, it destroys the volume
envelope. If you're looking to HIDE the envelope, rather than
removing it, just choose View|DisplayEnvelopes|Volume from the pull-
down menus. This is slightly more cumbersome than the hotkey V, I
