I assume this is a interesting tool, once mastered.
When do you use the line tool? In what different situations, instruments etc.
What are your linetool techniques?

Mainly for controller editing, but occassionally to paint in a drum roll, or just to do something wacky and abstract..

It's great with drum rolls. This is what I found worked really nicely:
1. paint 8 16th snare notes as a roll.
2. Select every other note with select-shift.
3. Use the line tool to give them ascending velocities.
4. Select the remaining notes with select-shift.
5. Use the line tool to give them a different velocity ramp.
6. Go back and tweak each note individually as necessary.
This gave me quick and easy results that sound pretty good, and I know I can do a lot more with toms, hats, and cymbals as well using this basic technique.
I'm more stoked with T2's piano roll the more I use it.

I use it most often to modulate volume quick and dirty. I also enjoy using it to fade effects in and out, best used subtly.
Something I found, which might be common knowledge I dunno, is that if you use the linetool for volume adjustments, and you later want to change the volume of the whole track (ie move the line vertically), it is best to place another volume filter behind the modulated one. That way you can control the track master volume while the modulated volume does its thing.

What's a line tool?
What's MIDI?
Seriously, though... I haven't used it yet.

Hans, I only just now noticed it's you there... was your signature ALWAYS still intact?
I'm too slow to have pieced together the backwards spelling thing.<chuckle>

lol
That should throw a few noobs
off the track Hans!

When I first used the line tool, I expected to quickly be able to select some midi notes that had the same starting time, and offset them so create strums. Instead I got some type of weird glissandi with every note. I was kinda dissapointed about that. BUT I do love the tool for adjusting velocities/controllers, and I like how it lays down repeated notes of the same lenth.
