To input single dynamic points, or dynamic event regions containing multiple dynamic
points at regular intervals, select Draw by pressing D or clicking Draw in the Play
toolbox.
To input gradual dynamic events, select Line by clicking Line in the Play toolbox.
2. Input dynamic points in one of the following ways:
To input single dynamic points, click in the dynamics lane at each position where you
want a dynamic point.
To input a dynamic event region containing multiple dynamic points at regular intervals,
click and drag in a single motion in the dynamics lane.
To input gradual dynamic events, click and drag in the dynamics lane from where you
want the gradual dynamics event to start to where you want it to end.
RESULT
Dynamic points are input. If you used the Draw tool, separate dynamic points are input at each
position you clicked. If you clicked and dragged in a single motion using the Draw tool, dynamic
points are input at sixteenth note intervals, or at smaller intervals if the rhythmic grid resolution
is
ner than sixteenth notes. If you used the Line tool, two dynamic points are input, one at each
end of the range.
By default, dynamic points input using the Draw tool are constant while gradual dynamic events
have a linear point at the start and a constant point at the end.
Gradual dynamic events and dynamic event regions appear with highlighted regions in the
dynamics lane.
Dynamic points input in dynamics lanes affect playback but are not shown in layouts.
NOTE
Inputting dynamic points/events at the positions of dynamics input in Write mode overrides
default playback adjustments for those dynamics. Single dynamic points only override the
dynamic level. Dynamic event regions also override, for example, humanization and increased
dynamics for notes with accents. However, the dynamic curve setting still applies to dynamic
event regions.

Making dynamic points constant/linear
You can make individual dynamic points constant or linear after they have been input, for
example, if you want to make constant points that you input by clicking and dragging using the
Draw tool linear so they have smooth transitions between them.
By default, dynamic points you input in the dynamics lane are constant when you use the Draw
tool and linear at the start when you use the Line tool.
NOTE
These steps do not apply to the points of dynamics input in Write mode.
