Logic seems to default to steps rather than lines / blends in MIDI cc lane?

[jimbobbley]

Hi all

I never used to have this issue so I don't know if something has changed in the latest version (which I'm on), but whenever I try to draw automation in the automation lane for MIDI ccs (see attached image) instead of adding a node and allowing you to drag / move that as you would with a volume node in the main arrange window (and have the line interpolated for you as you do), now it just adds a square step-style jump which can't be amended to be a line between two points, it's always just a hard jump between values.

The only way I can find around this is to hand draw the automation holding alt and command - that's a bit imprecise though and makes it harder to move the whole thing as a block.

Am I going mad? I swear it didn't use to default to this behaviour but I can't find an option of where to change default shapes.

Thanks

The behavior depends on the parameter you're automating. Which parameter are you automating? Or are you getting that behavior even when automating volume?

I'm getting it on parameters I never used to get it for - this is portamento (cc 5) but it never used to behave that way for cc5, I could draw it however I wanted it to. It does work as (I) intended for cc 74 though for example yes.. odd that it's changed between versions though.

Ok so I'm not able to reproduce this here with CC#5. 

How are you creating the automation node? With the pencil tool? Pointer tool?

Both / either...
