Pencil The Pencil Tool allows you to draw in or manipulate existing data shown in any of the Graphic Editor window's 'continuous data' displays (e.g., Controller, Pitch Bend, After Touch, Poly After Touch, Program Change, Average Velocity, or Tempo). Use the Pencil Tool to draw in or graphically edit Tempo, Average Velocity, Controller, AfterTouch, Polyphonic After Touch, Program Changes, and Pitch Bend data. The Pencil Tool is especially useful for drawing in data on-the-fly. Hint: Pressing the Option key down while drawing with the Pencil Tool in any of the Graphic Editor window's "continuous data' displays will lock in the vertical position, allowing you to draw horizontal lines. Pressing the Control key while drawing with the Pencil Tool in any of the Graphic Editor window's 'continuous data' displays allows you to draw smooth curves. The Channel field, near the upper portion of the Graphic Editor window, isapplied to the data drawn in with the Pencil and Curve Tools. Hint: Set up a Cue loop and use the Pencil Tool to edit data in real time while the music plays. Experiment with differentsettings, or keep adjusting the data until it sounds just right.
