Setting Velocity Values
When you draw note events in the MIDI editor, the note events get the velocity value
that is set in the Insert Velocity field on the toolbar. There are different methods to
set the velocity.
•Use the Edit Velocity tool modifier. The cursor changes into a speaker, and
next to the note, a field 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 modifier must be assigned for the Edit Velocity action. To see
or edit the tool modifier, select File > Preferences > Editing > Tool
Modifiers > Select Tool.
• Open the 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 Insert Velocity field 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.
Handling Several MIDI Parts
• To activate a part for editing, open the Currently Edited Part menu and select
a part.
When you select a part from the list, it is automatically active and centered in
the note display.
• To zoom in on an active part, select Edit > Zoom > Zoom to Event.
• To display defined borders for the active part, activate Show Part Borders.
If this option is activated, all parts, except the active part, are grayed out.
• To restrict editing operations to the active part, activate Edit Active Part Only.
