Resizing notes
Resizing notes manually
When you select a note on the Edit Pane, a handle appears on its right edge. You can click on this handle and drag
sideways to make the note shorter or longer.
• If Snap is on (see “Snap”), the end of the note will be magnetic to the Snap value positions.
• If several notes are selected, all will be resized by the same amount.
• When resizing notes the event may extend outside the right clip boundary.
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.
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.
Resizing notes with the “Note Lengths” function
The Note Lengths pane in the Tool Window
The “Note Lengths” function on the Sequencer Tools tab in the Tool Window allows you to add or subtract length val-
ues to the selected notes.
Note length resizing can be applied to:
• Individual (selected) note events in a note clip.
This has to be done in Edit Mode.
• All note events in one or several selected note clips.
This is done in Arrange Mode. If the clips are on the same lane, it can also be done in Edit Mode.
