How to move a part of an automation curve between two nodes vertically up or down while keeping the adjacent parts unaffected?

[molter]

When i want to lift only a short part of an automation curve (which is between two nodes) up or down, the part before and after this part will build a ramp to keep the transition smooth. Is there a quick way to get rid of the ramps and have hard transitions? (like a pulse) measure 1 = 50,  measure 2 = 100, measure 3 = 50 again.

cheers chris

Right click on the curve and change it to a jump.

Highlight the section you want to raise/lower by clicking the bar above and between the 2 nodes (highlighted in red below)

Then just drag that part of the curve up/down. Keep your cursor in the darker grey area when dragging

It takes 4 nodes. 2 to hold the ends you don’t want to move, and 2 nodes to move ctrl key (you don’t have to hold it down) the the sections move easier then.  The highlighting works great like jonesey said.
