Tutorial 4 – Playing and recording software instruments
If you click on various sections of a note, the Draw tool performs a different function:
• Left edge. Adjusts the start time.
• Right edge. Adjusts the end time or the duration.
• Top. Adjusts the velocity of the note, which indicates how hard the note is played.
• Bottom. Allows you to move the note to another location on the PRV grid.
Try to create a melody using this technique. You might find that you can only create 16th notes or
longer. If you want 32nd notes or triplets, click the Snap To Grid options button .
This will open the Snap To Grid dialog box where you can set the resolution to 32nd notes.
Click OK. You can now draw notes at shorter distances from each other.
