Velocities of notes can be edited on both the timeline by selecting notes
|
||||
and scrolling the mouse wheel above them, or by editing representations of
|
||||
velocities in a dedicated Velocity automation lane.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Velocity lane</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To open the velocity lane, right-click on the MIDI track header, select
|
||||
<kbd class="menu">Automation > Velocity</kbd>.
|
||||
</p>

||||

||||

</figure>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Each notes's velocity is represented as a lollipop-shaped object.
|
||||
Each lollipop object has two characteristics that represent the velocity
|
||||
value:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The vertical position: the lower the lollipop head is, the lower is the
|
||||
velocity value, and vice versa.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The color: just like with notes on the timeline, it goes from pale yellow
|
||||
(low velocity) to bright red (high velocity).
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Editing single notes</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To edit a single note's velocity <em>on the timeline</em>, click to select
|
||||
the note in either Draw or Edit mode, then scroll the mouse wheel up or
|
||||
down. The new value will be displayed in an overlay.

|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To edit a single note'velocity <em>on the velocity lane</em>, switch to the
|
||||
Edit mode, grab the note's velocity lollipop, then drag it up or down:

<p>
|
||||
To edit a single note in a chord <em>on the velocity lane</em>, switch to the
|
||||
Edit mode, select the note in the timeline, then draw its velocity lollipop up
|
||||
or down:

<h2>Editing multiple notes</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To edit velocities of multiple notes <em>on the timeline</em>, in the Edit
|
||||
mode, do a rubberband selection tp select adjucent notes or press
|
||||
<kbd>Ctrl</kbd> to select non-adjucent notes (<kbd>Shift</kbd> will select
|
||||
entire chords), then hover one of the selected notes and rotate the mouse
|
||||
wheel up or down. Velocities will be adjusted in all selected notes
|
||||
relatively, i.e. by the same amount.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
It's also possibly to edit the velocity of multiple notes in a MIDI region
|
||||
by drawing free or straight lines in the velocity lane.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To draw a free line, in Draw mode, click and draw the mouse pointer over the
|
||||
velocity lane from left to right:

||||

||||

|
||||
</video>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To draw a straight line, in Draw mode, press and hold <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>, then
|
||||
click and drag the mouse pointer to draw a straight line. Once you get the
|
||||
line you expected, release the mouse button and then the <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> key.

||||

||||
</video>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Just like with automation lines, you can also combine free and straight lines
|
||||
in one go. Draw a free line, then press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> to draw straight line,
|
||||
release the <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> key, continue drawing free lines, release the mouse
|
||||
button when you are'done drawing.
