Note Expression (Cubase only)
• To paste all the Note Expression data from one note to
other notes, set up the key command “Paste Note Expres-
sion” in the Key commands dialog (Note Expression cate-
gory).
This pastes all the Note Expression information of one or several notes
for which you have used the Copy command into the currently selected
notes.
Using the “Paste Note Expression” command, you can
copy the settings you made for one note into several other
notes, or copy the settings for several selected notes into
a number of other notes (which makes it easy to recreate
specific drum patterns, for example).
If Note Expression data is copied from several source notes
to a number of destination notes, the following applies:
• If the number of the source and destination notes
matches, the data of the first “source” note is pasted into
the first “destination” note, the data of the second source
note into the second destination note, etc.
• If the number of source notes is smaller than the number
of destination notes, the source note data will be pasted
repeatedly into the destination notes in the order in which
they appear.
When you copy the data from two source notes into four destination
notes, for example, the first destination note gets the Note Expression
data from the first source note, the second destination note the data of
the second source note, the third destination note the data of the first
source note and the fourth destination note the data of the second
source note.
Deleting Note Expression data
• To delete all or the selected Note Expression data, use
the Delete command on the Edit menu or press [Back-
space].
Moving Note Expression data
• To move all or the selected data of the active parameter,
click with the Object Selection tool in the editor (not in the
stretch area at the bottom of the window) and drag.
You can restrict the direction to vertical or horizontal by pressing [Ctrl]/
[Command] while dragging. When you hold down [Alt]/[Option] while
dragging, the data is copied instead.
Fixed values
• To enter or edit a fixed value (i. e. a straight line), activate
“One-Shot Mode” mode by clicking the button in the up-
per left corner of the window and click with the pencil tool
anywhere in the editor to set the value.
Note that some VST 3 parameters are one-shot only. For these, this
mode is automatically activated.
The snap controls
The horizontal snap button in the upper right corner of the
editor corresponds to the Snap button in the Project win-
dow (see “The Snap function” on page 45).
The Vertical Snap button in the middle of the left border of
the editor is especially useful for the Tuning parameter. It
allows you to enter the pitch in semitone steps instead of
as a continuous curve. This way, it is much easier to create
fast pitch modulations.
• To temporarily switch to vertical snapping while editing,
hold down [Shift].
