piano roll velocity

[lee dunham]

Hi, Could someone inform me how I change the velocity on a group of notes in the piano roll, as  only seem to be able to change one note at a time!

Thanks

Set Smart Tool to Select.

Select the notes (click and drag over all the notes, they will be selected.)

Change the Smart Tool to Edit.

Hold the cursor over any of the notes.

The cursor changes to a pencil with a triangle. I

Click and drag up and down, changes velocity up and down.

Numerical values are displayed to make things easier.

Works with single notes as well.

 

To change note start and end times,:
Edit mode: Place the cursor over the start or end of a note to change the start and end times.

Move notes (left-right, up-down)
Move mode: Click and drag a note.

The above is all from the manual. ? There are a few changes, that is old documnetation.

Lasso the notes.

possition the cursor at the top of the note in the middle until  the pointer changes to the the velocity tool  

drag the notes 

the above info is outdated only some of it is correct

Often old urls such as the one linked above

https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR X3&language=3&help=EditingMIDI.15.html

can be modified to show the current documentation by modifying the product. In this case changing "SONAR X3" to Cakewalk like this

The Event Inspector is another way to modify MIDI data including velocity.

 

Another way uses the velocity bars in the controller pane.

Enable the controller pane by selecting "Show/Hide Controller Pane" in the PRV View menu.

There is an option in the PRV Note menu to "Show Velocity on Selected Note Only". This option makes manipulating selected velocities a little easier.

Select the notes and click-drag the velocity bars.

This works for a string of notes quickly. There's no pattern selection though, so if you want to, say, only select every other note, you have to manually select them.
