 Another aspect of working with the controller editor’s layered controller bars is
that the bar of the currently selected note (mouse selection/editing) is always
on top. To change this, click on the note you want to edit in the piano roll, or
click directly on the layered bars and switch between the notes with the arrow
keys. You can then change the controller value by clicking on the top third of
the red (current) part of the top bar.
 After drawing controller values with the pen tool, click on an unselected area
and drag the mouse to change several velocity values in sequence. Move the
mouse in a curve to create velocity curves. Existing (multiple) selections are
ignored. This is a great method for creating crescendos or decrescendos.
Tools
The Controller Editor has its own tools for editing curves and values.
Controller selection: A click on the menu area of the button opens a
selection menu in which the MIDI controller for editing can be
selected.
Selection: This is a combi tool used for value changes as well as
freehand and line drawing.
Click in the upper range of a controller bar to modify the controller value
immediately by dragging. Clicking in the lower two thirds of the bar selects the
corresponding note which is then highlighted in red in the editors.
Select multiple controller bars by clicking and dragging a range in the
Controller Editor; individual values can be selected by single-clicking within the
bar. Selected controller events will be highlighted red.
Combi tool editing options:
 Click on the bar end + drag: The controller value can now be adjusted by
dragging vertically. If you hold the "Shift" key down while dragging, all of the
selected events will be set to the same value. If you also hold down "Ctrl",
then the values of multiple selected controllers will be changed relative to one
another.
 Alt + Drag: This activates freehand drawing; the mouse pointer becomes a
pencil. By dragging in the corresponding controller area, you can draw in any
number of controller curves.
 Shift + Drag: This activates line drawing and the mouse pointer becomes a
cross hairs. By dragging horizontally, you can draw in linear value curves
(ramps).
