Resizing notes
Resizing notes manually
When you select a note on the Edit Pane, a handle appears on either edge of the note. You can click any of these
handles and drag sideways to make the note shorter or longer.
• If Snap is on (see “Snap”), the beginning and/or end of the note will be magnetic to the (absolute) Snap value
positions.
• If several notes are selected, the note you resize with the mouse will be magnetic to absolute Snap value po-
sitions. The other selected notes will be resized by the current Snap value relative to their original positions or
lengths.
• When resizing notes, the event may extend outside the clip boundaries.
As long as the start position of events is inside the clip, the note will play for the whole duration, i.e. it won’t be cut
off when the clip ends.
! If a note is resized to the left, outside the clip start position, the note will no longer belong to that clip and will
thus be masked (silent). to unmask the note, resize the clip to the left so that the note’s start position gets in-
side the clip.
About resizing drum notes
Redrum drum notes can be resized, just like any other notes. However, the audible result of this depends on the set-
tings of the Decay/Gate switch and the Length knob for the drum sound on the Redrum device panel:
• If Decay mode is selected, the drum sound will play to its end, regardless of the note length in the sequencer.
Or rather, it will fade out according to the Length parameter setting on the Redrum device panel.
• If Gate mode is selected, the note lengths in the sequencer affect the resulting sound.
However, the maximum length of the sound is determined by the Length knob setting - the sound will be cut off
after this length, regardless of the note length in the sequencer. Also, even if the Length knob is set to its maxi-
mum value, the sound will not play longer than the length of the drum sample.
