[. . . ] If you make a mistake using any of these tools or commands, you can use Undo to correct the error. When you use the Draw tool, the speed with which you drag the mouse determines the density of controller events. To insert a larger number of controller events with relatively small changes in value, move the mouse slowly. To insert a smaller 300 number of controller events with relatively large changes in value, drag the mouse quickly. Creating a change that sounds smooth does not always require making the value change by one on each tick. Bigger jumps may sound very gradual if the tempo is fast. Also, many devices round off the controller values. For example, many instruments respond to volume controller values of 100 and 101 with exactly the same loudness. Using too high a density of controller events can backfire by making the computer work so hard during playback that it is unable to keep up. This will usually cause hiccups or poor timing during playback. To Display Controller, RPN, NRPN, Velocity, Pitch-Bend, or Aftertouch Data 1.
