To Edit Multiple Note Velocities in the Drum Grid Editor
When you edit multiple notes that have different initial velocities, the velocities are adjusted on a
relative basis, so if you reduce a velocity by 50%, all other selected notes have their velocities reduced by
the same percentage. For example: you select three notes. The first has a velocity of 100, the second a
velocity of 50, and the third a velocity of 30. You click and drag the velocity of the first note down to 50.
The second note's velocity changes from 50 to 25 and the third note's velocity changes from 30 to 15.
1. Select the notes you want to change the velocity of.
2. Click the Draw tool button
3. Move your cursor over one of the selected notes.
4. Hold down the Shift key.
5. Click and drag the velocity tail. Drag it up to increase the velocity. Drag it down to decrease the
velocity.
