CHAPTER 10. EDITING MIDI NOTES AND VELOCITIES 138

modier is held. To draw markers individually (as you would want to with a crescendo,

for instance) deactivate grid snapping with the

Ctrl

(PC) /

(Mac) shortcut, or

simply hold down the

Alt

(PC) / (Mac) modier.

Drawing Identical

Velocities (Left) and a

Crescendo (Right).

Tip: To draw a velocity ramp with notes that are all in the same key track, press and

click on the piano roll to select all notes within the desired key track, make sure Draw Mode

is activated and draw the ramp into the Velocity Editor while holding the modier,

so that you affect only the selected notes.

Tip #2: To draw a linear velocity ramp across a selection of notes, rst select the notes that

should be affected (using the modier to select non-adjacent notes if necessary).

Make sure Draw Mode is not activated and draw the line into the Velocity Editor while

holding the

Ctrl

modier.

Notes in the Note Editor display their velocity in their coloring  light notes play softly,

and vice versa. To change the velocity of notes without the Velocity Editor open, click any

selected note and drag vertically while pressing the

Alt

(PC) / (Mac) modier.

Note-Off Velocity

By default, the Velocity Editor allows you to adjust note-on velocities. But you can toggle

the editor to show note-off velocities via options in the editor's (PC) /

Ctrl

(Mac)

context menu.
