Using the Note Velocity Mode
Hyper Draw also offers the Note Velocity mode, which is perfect for creating crescendos
or diminuendos across a range of notes. You can use it at any point in a region (on a
note in the Piano Roll window, for example).
To use the Note Velocity mode:
1 Choose View > Hyper Draw > Note Velocity.
2 Click, and hold until you see the (Start Line) help tag, and release the mouse button.
The (End Line) help tag is shown, along with a green line, which can be visually
positioned onscreen. Keep an eye on the help tag while moving the line.
3 Click at the desired end point—both vertical and horizontal—to automatically scale all
note velocities, aligned with the inserted line.
Note: Use of this mode only makes sense when the region actually contains notes.
The Note Velocity Line tool works in different modes:
 Absolute: With no modifier key pressed, the velocity of notes will be changed to
match the values of the line.
 Relative: Command-click, the original and new note velocity will be analyzed. The
resulting velocity is an average of both values.
 Just Selected: With Option pressed, only selected notes will be affected.
Both Relative and Just Selected modes can be combined.
