1 <h2>Velocity Sense</h2>
4 This control defines how much the velocity coming off your MIDI device
5 affects clip's volume. At 0%, which is the default, it doesn't matter how
6 hard you press a key or a pad, the volume will be what you set it to.
7 At 100%, hitting a key as hard as you can produces maximum volume, and
8 pressing the key or a pad really softly produces a barely audible sound.
14 The <dfn>Launch Style</dfn> defines how you interact with the clip's
15 playback. Ardour makes a distinction between pressing a button or a key
16 (the 'down' event for a mouse or the note-on MIDI event) and releasing
17 a button or a key (the 'up' event for a mouse or the note-off MIDI event).
21 You can setup a trigger slot so that you would press a silicon pad on your
22 external grid controller, and Ardour would play the clip in that slot
23 indefinitely on repeat. Or you could set it up so that it would only repeat
24 that clip as long as you are keeping the pad pressed and stop playing it
25 as soon as you stop pressing the pad.

61 <h2>Launch Quantize</h2>
64 This setting defines how long Ardour will wait till beginning the playback
65 of a clip in a trigger slot. If the transport is already rolling, and
66 quantization is set to 1 bar, which is the default, Ardour will wait for the
67 next bar, then start playing the clip. Quantizing to a whole bar or several
68 bars typically guarantees that downbeats of a drums track and a bassline
73 The quantization value can be as large as 4 bars and as small as 1/64 bar.
74 When 'None' is selected, playback with a rolling transport will start
81 The <dfn>Legato</dfn> mode helps keeping two clips of the same track in sync
82 when you switch from one to another. With Legato on, Ardour will pick up
83 the playback of the second clip at the position where the first one left off.
84 Please note that quantization applies here.
90 When you play the entire cue, all slots that belong to it get triggered.
91 <dfn>Solo Isolate</dfn> is a way to disable that for selected slots.
92 An isolated slot will only be triggered when you send either mouse-down
93 or note-on event directly to it.
