THE SEQUENCER

D If Snap is on, the end of the note will be magnetic to the Snap value po-
sitions.
You can disable this function temporarily by pressing [Shift] when you drag. This
allows you to resize the note to any length, regardless of the Snap value.
D If several notes are selected, all will be resized by the same amount.
About resizing drum notes
Drum notes can be resized as any other notes. However, the result of this depends on
the settings of the Decay/Gate switch and the Length knob for the drum sound on the
Redrum panel:
D If Decay mode is selected, the drum sound will play to its end, regardless
of the note length.
Or rather, it will fade out according to the Length setting.
D If Gate mode is selected, the note length affects the resulting sound.
However, the maximum length of the sound is set by the Length knob - the sound
will be cut off after this length, regardless of the note length.
Finally, even if the Length knob is set to its maximum value, the sound will not play
longer than the length of the drum sample.
Deleting notes
You can delete notes in two ways:
D Select them and press [Backspace] or [Delete], or select Delete from the
Edit menu.
D Select the Eraser tool and click on the notes you want to delete.
You can also drag a selection rectangle with the Eraser tool and delete all notes
encompassed by the rectangle.
When using the Eraser tool with Snap on, the following applies:
•When single clicking, all notes of the same pitch within the set Snap value will be
deleted. The “area of effect” is indicated in a dark gray color.
In this case, with Snap set to “Bar”, a single click will remove all the instances of the note C 2 on
bar 6.
• If a selection rectangle is drawn, it will be magnetic to the nearest snap value posi-
tions. For example, if Snap is set to “Bar”, dragging a rectangle will select all notes
within an exact range of bars.
D If you hold down [Shift] when making a selection rectangle, direction is
restricted to horizontal or vertical only.
Editing velocity
The velocity values of notes are edited in the Velocity lane.
The velocity values are shown as bars, with higher bars indicating higher velocity. Note also that the
color of the notes and bars reflect the velocity.
To change the velocity of a note, click on its velocity bar with the Pencil tool and drag
the bar up or down. Clicking above a bar immediately raises the velocity to the level at
which you click.
