NOTE AND AUTOMATION EDITING

Drawing notes
Notes are usually drawn and edited in Key Edit Mode on the Note Edit Lane, but the actions described below also ap-
ply to the Drum Edit Mode and the REX Edit Mode.
! If you want to restrict note input to certain note values (e.g. 1/16th notes), activate Snap (see “Snap”) and set
the snap value accordingly.
D Double click with the Selection (Arrow) tool in the open clip to insert a note with a length of the current Snap
value.
This will create a note with the length of the current Snap value setting (e.g. 1/16th note). To create longer notes,
double click, keep the mouse button pressed and drag to the right.
Alternatively, do as follows:
1. Select the Pencil tool.
q With the Selection (Arrow) tool selected, you can toggle temporarily between the Selection tool and the Pencil
tool by holding down [Alt](Win) or [Cmd](Mac).
2. Click at the desired position on the Note Edit Lane.
A note will be inserted at the closest Snap value position. By default, the note will be given the Velocity value ‘100’.
(This can be edited afterwards according to the descriptions in “Editing note velocity”). If an open or closed clip is
already present on the Note Lane, at the position where you draw the note, the note will be placed in that clip. If no
clip is available, refer to “About drawing notes outside an open clip” and “About drawing notes outside a closed
clip” below.
• If you just click, and Snap is activated, the note will get the length of the set Snap value.
If Snap is off, the note will get the length of the shortest possible Snap value, i.e. 1/64th note.
• If you click and keep the mouse button depressed, you can drag to the right to set the length of the note.
If Snap is on, the length will be a multiple of the Snap value.
! If you are drawing drum notes for a Redrum device, refer to the info about drum note lengths in “About resiz-
ing drum notes”.
