Velocity mode
|
|
If you click the Vel button, the events are displayed in velocity mode. |
In this mode, the velocities of the events are not represented by their different color intensity, but by the height of the events in the matrix display. The color of the events is always the same in this mode (red/blue or channel/track color).
|
Click and drag on the top edge of the event to adjust the velocity of the event directly in the Matrix Editor without having to switch to the Controller Editor. |
|
Note: For this purpose, the matrix editor must be sufficiently zoomed vertically, since the mouse cursor for setting the velocity is only visible from a certain minimum height of the events.
In the case of a multiple selection, the velocity change is applied absolutely, which means that for all notes the velocity is increased or decreased by the same amount, but the maximum and minimum values (127 or 1) cannot be exceeded.
To apply the velocity change relatively to a multiple selection, also press the Ctrl key.
What does relative value change mean?
An example: Two notes are selected, the first with velocity 30, the second with 60. If you now increase the velocity of the second note by 30, the values at absolute change thereafter are 60 and 90 .
If you use relative value change (additionally Ctrl pressed) to increase the velocity of the second note by 30, this corresponds to a relative increase of 50%. The first note is also increased by 50% of the initial value of 30, i.e. by 15 to velocity 45. If instead you increase the first note relative by 30 to 60, this corresponds to a change of 100%, the velocity of the second note is increased accordingly to 120. In both cases, the velocity of the second note after the change is still twice that of the first, in other words, the relationship between the initial values is preserved with the relative value change.
To set all selected notes to the same value, additionally press the Shift key.
Tip: In the Shortcuts menu, the functions Velocity Up and Velocity Down are available. If you assign a keyboard shortcut for these functions, you can also change the velocity via keyboard.
