• Selecting a predefined velocity value from the Insert Ve-
locity pop-up menu.
The menu contains five different predefined velocity values. The “Setup…”
item opens a dialog that allows you to specify which five velocity values are
available on the pop-up menu. (This dialog can also be opened by select
-
ing “Insert Velocities…” from the MIDI menu.)
• Manually entering the desired velocity value by double-
clicking in the Insert Velocity field and typing in the desired
value.
• Using a key command.
You can assign a key command to each of the five available velocity val-
ues in the Key Commands dialog (MIDI category – the items Insert Ve-
locity 1–5). This allows for quick switching between different velocity
values when entering notes. See
“Setting up key commands” on page
344 for instructions on how to set up key commands.
