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 743.
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:
1. Click the Step Sequencer view Options menu and select Set default velocity for steps.
The Set Default Velocity for Steps dialog box appears.
2. Specify the desired velocity value and click OK.
To compress or expand all note velocities in a row
1. Right-click a row and select Adjust Velocity Multiplier from the pop-up menu.
The Adjust Velocity Multiplier dialog box appears.
2. Do one of the following:
• To compress the note velocities, specify a value below 1.00.
• To expand the note velocities, specify a value above 1.00.
To add/remove a flam
• Double-click the desired step.
Flammed steps are drawn with a dividing marker halfway through the step.
To adjust a row’s flam timing, click the row’s Select button to show the Controllers pane, then
adjust the Flam knob as desired.
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 1953).
Note: The default velocity setting is global and only affects new notes.
