3. In each instrument track header, click Show the dynamics lane .
RESULT
The dynamics lane for each instrument track is shown when the button is highlighted, and
hidden when it is not highlighted. For instrument tracks with independent voice playback
enabled, the dynamics lane shows dynamics for the currently selected voice only.
Inputting dynamic points
You can input dynamic points, including gradual dynamic events, in the dynamics lane for each
instrument track. Dynamic points input in dynamics lanes do not appear in layouts.
PREREQUISITE
The dynamics lane is shown for each instrument to which you want to add dynamic points.
PROCEDURE
1.
Select one of the following tools, depending on the type of dynamic points you want to input:
● To input single dynamic points, or dynamic event regions containing multiple dynamic
points at regular intervals, select
Draw by pressing D or clicking Draw in the Play
toolbox.
● To input gradual dynamic events, select Line by pressing L or clicking Line in the Play
toolbox.
2. Input dynamic points in one of the following ways:
● To input single dynamic points, click in the dynamics lane at each position where you
want a dynamic point.
● To input a dynamic event region containing multiple dynamic points at regular intervals,
click and drag in a single motion in the dynamics lane.
● To input gradual dynamic events, click and drag in the dynamics lane from where you
want the gradual dynamics event to start to where you want it to end.
RESULT
Dynamic points are input. If you used the Draw tool, separate dynamic points are input at each
position you clicked. If you clicked and dragged in a single motion using the Draw tool, dynamic
points are input at sixteenth note intervals, or at smaller intervals if the rhythmic grid resolution
is
ner than sixteenth notes. If you used the Line tool, two dynamic points are input, one at each
end of the range.
By default, dynamic points input using the Draw tool are constant while gradual dynamic events
have a linear point at the start and a constant point at the end.
Gradual dynamic events and dynamic event regions appear with highlighted regions in the
dynamics lane.
Dynamic points input in dynamics lanes affect playback but are not shown in layouts.
NOTE
●
Inputting dynamic points/events at the positions of dynamics input in Write mode overrides
default playback adjustments for those dynamics. Single dynamic points only override
the dynamic level. Dynamic event regions also override, for example, humanization and
increased dynamics for notes with accents. However, the dynamic curve setting still applies
to dynamic event regions.
