Editing note velocity
Editing note velocity manually
The velocity values of notes can be edited manually on the Velocity Edit Lane:
The velocity values are shown as bars, with taller bars indicating higher velocity.
Note also that the color intensity of the notes and velocity bars reflect the velocity values.
D To change the velocity of a note, click on its velocity bar with the Pencil tool and drag the bar up or down. Click-
ing above or below a bar immediately adjusts the velocity to the level at which you click.
You can also edit the velocity of several notes at once by clicking and dragging with the Pencil tool.
D When the Pencil Tool is selected and you press [Ctrl](Win) or [Option](Mac) on the Velocity Edit Lane, the pen-
cil will change to a cross.
This is the Line Tool which is a special tool only available on the Velocity Edit Lane. By dragging across the velocity
“bars”, at the desired height, you can quickly draw velocity ramps.
Drawing a velocity ramp with the Line Tool.
The Line Tool is probably the preferred method for creating regular, smooth ramps, or for giving all the notes the
same velocity (by drawing a straight line), while the Pencil tool can be used for creating more irregular curves.
