- <kbd class=menu>Linear</kbd> mode has straight lines betwen each point on the
- automation track. This is useful for gradual shifts in automation lanes,
- such as gradual increase in volume on the fader.
+ <kbd class="menu">Discrete</kbd> mode does <em>no</em> interpolation between
+ control points in a given automation curve. The values set by the control
+ points do not change until the following control point is reached at which
+ time the value is then set to its value; this continues on until there are no
+ more control points. Typically this is used for parameters such as mute or
+ sustain pedal (e.g., on a MIDI piano track).
