-<p>Using the Draw tool, as for all the automation, allows to create a gradual change from one drawn point to another. A line in the center produces no change to the pitch, while a line above the center will bend the pitch to a higher note (up to 4 semitones) and a line going under the middle will bend the pitch to a lower note.</p>

-<p>The values can be anything between 0 (-4 semitones) to 16383 (+4 semitones). No automation or a value of 8192 means no pitch shifting.</p>

-<p>Aftertouch works very similarly, though the values are between 0 and 127. It should be noted that aftertouch differs from velocity, as aftertouch allows to slightly change the timbre or create a vibrato, while the velocity sets the power with which the note is played (e.g. on a keyboard, the key is hit).</p>

+  The pitch change depends on the synth-plugin used. Common ranges are an
+       change of either &plusmn; 1, &plusmn; 2 or &plusmn; 4 semitones
+       for the range 0 to 16383. The range is usually defined by the soundfont
+       for each instrument.
+       A value of 8192, which is also the default, means no pitch change.
