Duplicating and Repeating Note Events
You can duplicate and repeat note events in the same way as events in the Project window.
●
To duplicate the selected note events, hold down Alt/Opt and drag the note events to a new
position.
If Snap is activated, it determines to which positions you can copy notes.
●
To copy the selected note events and place them directly behind the original, select Edit >
Functions > Duplicate.
If several note events are selected, all of them are copied as one unit, maintaining the
relative distance between the note events.
●
To create a number of copies of the selected note events, select Edit > Functions > Repeat,
specify the number, and click OK.
You can also press Alt/Opt and drag the right edge of the note events to the right to create
copies of the note events.
Finding Exact Positions with Snap
The Snap function restricts horizontal movement and positioning to certain positions. This helps
you nd exact positions in the note display when editing note events in a MIDI editor. Affected
operations include moving, duplicating, drawing, sizing, etc.
● To activate/deactivate snap, click Snap.
If you select the Bars+Beats display format, the snap grid is set by the quantize value on the
toolbar. This makes it possible to snap to straight note values and to swing grids that have
been set up in the Quantize Panel.
● If you select any of the other display formats, positioning is restricted to the displayed grid.
Setting Velocity Values
When you draw note events in the MIDI editor, the note events get the velocity value that is set in
the Note Insert Velocity eld on the toolbar. There are different methods to set the velocity.
● Use the Edit Velocity tool modier. The cursor changes into a speaker, and next to the note,
a eld with the Note Velocity slider shows the value. Move the mouse pointer up or down to
change the value.
Value changes are applied to all selected notes.
For this, a tool modier must be assigned for the Edit Velocity action. You can edit the tool
modier in the Preferences dialog (Tool Modiers page).
●
Open the Note Insert Velocity pop-up menu and select a velocity value.
On this menu, you can also select Setup and specify custom velocity values for the pop-up
menu.
●
Double-click the Note Insert Velocity eld on the toolbar and enter a velocity value.
●
Assign key commands to Insert Velocity 1-5 and use them.
This allows you to quickly switch between different velocity values when you enter note
events.
