FIXME THE ENTIRE TABLE
++ The Launch Style defines how you interact with the clip's + playback. Ardour makes a distinction between pressing a button or a key + (the 'down' event for a mouse or the note-on MIDI event) and releasing + a button or a key (the 'up' event for a mouse or the note-off MIDI event). +
+ ++ You can setup a trigger slot so that you would press a silicon pad on your + external grid controller, and Ardour would play the clip in that slot + indefinitely on repeat. Or you could set it up so that it would only repeat + that clip as long as you are keeping the pad pressed and stop playing it + as soon as you stop pressing the pad. +
Trigger | - | You click and it starts playing until it stops; mouse up and note-off are ignored | Clicking will trigger the playback of a clip. Further clicks, as well + as mouse up and note-off events will be ignored. |
---|---|---|
Retrigger | - | Mouse down or note-on starts or retriggers; mouse up and note-off FIXME | Clicking will trigger the playback of a clip. Another click will restart + (retrigger) the playback from the beginning, quantization will be taken into + consideration. Mouse up and note-off events will be ignored. |
Gate | - | plays only as long as you press the play button, quantization setting defines how soon it starts and ends after pressing the button down. Runs till mouse up/note off then to next quantization | The clip will be played back as long as you keep the mouse button + or the MIDI key/pad pressed. Quantization defines how soon playback starts + after pressing the button/key down and ends after releasing the button/key. + | +
Toggle | - | Keeps looping until you click it again. runs till next mouse down/NoteOn | The clip will keep playing until you click the button again or send + another note-on event from your MIDI device | +
Repeat | - | Keeps looping, but when you press and hold, it starts from the beginning and plays as far as quantization setting goes, e.g. 1/16 means it repeats the first 1/16 of a bar. plays only quantization extent until mouse up/note off | The contents of the clip will be played to the extent of the quantization setting. | +
From 4 bars down to 1/64 bar, and None. FIXME
++ This setting defines how long Ardour will wait till beginning the playback + of a clip in a trigger slot. If the transport is already rolling, and + quantization is set to 1 bar, which is the default, Ardour will wait for the + next bar, then start playing the clip. Quantizing to a whole bar or several + bars typically guarantees that downbeats of a drums track and a bassline + track align. +
+ ++ The quantization value can be as large as 4 bars and as small as 1/64 bar. + When 'None' is selected, playback with a rolling transport will start + immediately. +
FIXME (also, doesn't work properly yet).
++ The Legato mode helps keeping two clips of the same track in sync + when you switch from one to another. With Legato on, Ardour will pick up + the playback of the second clip at the position where the first one left off. + Please note that quantization applies here. +
