I'll treat this as an issues sub-forum: envelopes

[timboalogo]

Hi all,

Welcome here and all that and Merry Ho Ho and all that.

I have been having an issue with the way envelopes are happening. I came here from X3, which handled them much better.  I don't know if anyone else is having the same issue and it's difficult to describe. 

For example, I have a volume envelope that I create 2 nodes on so I can decrease the volume and make the envelope between them a Jump. If I place another node after the second node and made the area between nodes 2 and 3 a slow curve and then try to change the 2nd node's volume, CWB turns the envelope between 1 and 2 into a linear. 

I don't think this happened in X3. I have myriad examples of strange(r) things happening with envelopes.

Am I doing something wrong, or do others experience the same?

I think the Q&A forum is being used for issues and such.

Great thanks, maybe there's a mod to move this question.

Done - thanks!

If I understood correctly, you're trying to get something like the screenshot below. I didn't encounter the problem described.

If you right click on the envelope line, you can select the curve:

Actually I'm trying to get that not to happen!

Hmmm... then I did not understand. You said "then try to change the 2nd node's volume, CWB turns the envelope between 1 and 2 into a linear. " That did not happen in my case; the segment between nodes 1 and 2 is still a jump.

I think we'll need a screenshot and detailed steps.
