If it is not in the manual and not in the help you need indeed a lot of points to make your nice round curve. :wink:

when i want to make a nice, round, natural curve.
i find the easiest way to do so is to record it from a midi knob or slider.

with most parameters, this is much easier than drawing it in manually.

personally I would like them to include spline curves in a future edition. Billions of points are a pain to edit if you get them a bit wrong.

so i m not that dumb after all ,
to use the knobs is ok for fx automation but for the pitch or stretch you need to be very accurate .hopefully the abletons will find a way around it.

yes! the curreny automation editing is too linear (excuse the pun).
