lower notes in a chord—for example, to increase
velocities or transpose pitches.
To select only the bass notes in a chord:
Do one of the following:
1
• With the Grabber or Selector tool, select
the range of MIDI notes that contains the
notes.
– or –
• To affect all the MIDI notes on a track, click
in the track with the Selector tool, so that it
contains a flashing edit cursor.

In order for notes to be considered a chord,
