To edit a note’s velocity

A note’s velocity is shown inside the note cell (step).

To edit a note’s velocity value, do one of the following:

• Click a row’s Select button to show the Controllers pane, select Velocity in the Step Editor list,

then draw velocity changes in the Controllers pane.

• Hold down the SHIFT key and drag the note up/down.

• Hold down the CTRL key, double-click a note and enter the desired velocity value.

• Click a note to give it focus and use a mouse wheel to adjust the velocity value. Hold down the

SHIFT key for fine control.

You can also edit the velocities of multiple notes in one operation:

1. Hold down the SHIFT key and click a step to enter Velocity Editing mode.

Two horizontal lines are displayed to indicate the range that you can move the mouse to adjust

velocities.

2. Drag the mouse up or down across other rows to change the velocities of the steps in that row.

Only steps in the same row may be edited.

Velocity values are updated in real-time as you move the mouse within the row.

3. To commit the new velocity values, move the mouse pointer outside the row or release the mouse

button.

For more information about working with controller events and velocities, see “Adding and Editing

Controllers in the Piano Roll” on page 466.

To specify the default velocity value for new notes

By default, all new note events have a fixed velocity value of 100. To change the default velocity

value for new notes:

Note: If you would like to audition velocity changes while editing velocities, make sure the

Trigger Note on Click option is enabled (see “To audition a note when clicking on a step” on

page 1463).
