one of them. This will alter the lengths relatively among
the selected notes.
Making Notes the Same Length: If you want to make
several selected notes the same length hold down ctrl shift
(as in the Event List, when making several parameters the
same value).
What Tools to Use
When altering note lengths, you can use either the mouse
pointer or the pencil. However, it is better to use the
pointer, because you might accidentally draw new notes
with the pencil.
With very short or small notes it can sometimes be diffi-
cult to grab the bottom right corner. In this case, you
should use the index finger tool which allows you to grab
notes anywhere, and alter their length.
Altering the Velocity
To alter the velocity value, click on the note with the V tool.
The info line will then indicate the velocity value of the
note you have clicked on.
If you hold down the mouse button, you can alter the ve-
locity by vertically moving the mouse. If the MIDI Out
function is switched on, the note will be output every time
you alter the velocity.
Altering the Velocity of Several Notes: All selected notes can
be altered simultaneously; the differences in the velocity
values will be retained. If the velocity value of one of the
selected notes reaches an extreme value (0 or 127) you
can’t go any further. However, by simultaneously pressing
alt you can carry on altering the velocity values until the
clicked note reaches an extreme value.
To give all the notes the same velocity value, hold down alt
shift as you alter the value.
Deleting
You can delete selected notes by pressing delete, or click-
ing on them with the eraser.
Selection Techniques
In addition to the usual selection options you can select all
notes of the same pitch throughout the whole sequence by
clicking one of the keys on the screen keyboard.
