Changing the velocity of notes
You can change the velocity for each note, including for a single note in a chord or create a
consistent increase/decrease in velocity across a range of notes.
PREREQUISITE
The velocity lane is shown for each instrument whose note velocity you want to change.
PROCEDURE
1. Select one of the following tools, depending on how you want to change velocities:
●
To change the velocity of one note at a time, select Object Selection by pressing S or
clicking Object Selection in the Play toolbox.
●
To change the velocity using free shapes, select Draw by pressing D or clicking Draw in
the Play toolbox.
● To change the velocity using consistent slopes, select Line by clicking Line in the Play
toolbox.
2. Optional: If you want to drag the velocity of a single note in a chord, select that note in the
piano roll editor. This also selects its velocity bar.
3. Change the velocity in one of the following ways:
● If you have Object Selection selected, click and drag the top of each velocity bar
upwards/downwards.
● If you have Draw selected, click and draw any shape across the required range in the
velocity lane.
● If you have Line selected, click and drag a line across the required range in the velocity
lane.
RESULT
The velocity of the affected notes is changed. When using the Draw or Line tools, the velocities
of all notes within the range are updated when you release the mouse.
Removing changes to note velocity
You can remove changes you have made to the velocity of individual notes and reset them to
their default velocity.
PROCEDURE
1. In the piano roll/drum editor, select the notes whose note velocity you want to reset.
2. Choose Play > Reset Playback Overrides.
