Piano roll - draw velocity (??)

[my03]

Hi,

 

almost ashamed to ask, but during all of my years with previous incarnations of Sonar, i always had the velocity drawing tool available in the piano roll, but now after upgrading to Bandlab, it seems to be lost. How on earth can i get that drawing/line tool back that will let me "draw" my velocity on the tracks?

While in the PVR if you kit the 'T' key this should bring up a floating toolbar where you can select the draw tool.  A middle mouse button click might work as well. You could also look in the keyboard bindings for the pencil tool.

Appreciate your answer reginaldStjohn, but while it does seem to help a bit, it does not go all the way unfortunately. I do get a floating toolbar (much like the one i got at the top with smart, select, move, edit, draw and erase) but neither of the options in the toolbar allows me to "draw" the velocity free-hand like i used to be able to do.

 

I have tried to alter the drop down (Notes/Velocity)  to only be "velocity" but that does not seem to result in anything (in my case).

my guess is you are trying to draw in the notes pane, you should be doing it in the controllers pane that is under the notes pane

perhaps you need to open it first in case it's closed (collapsed)

Yes drawing velocity and controllers happens in the controller pane. Here is an example drawing velocity using the smart tool.

There is a "Show/Hide Controller Pane" setting on the PRV View menu. The controller pane may be resized by dragging the sash between the notes and controller panes.

ohhhh!!! 

 

chris and scook, you were spot on. It was hiding underneath the piano-roll ? I did not notice that it was possible to "roll up" another pane with the velocity settings.

 

Thx heaps to you.
