if i have alot of midi notes selected, how can i change the length of all of them without having to do each one by one?
if you can’t do this yet…
when the pencil tool is selected, you use CTRL + drag to resize a note. maybe CTRL + drag can work in the same way on every note that is selected at that time?
ZynewaveYou can’t do that yet with the mouse. I have it on the plan. Resizing an event that is part of a multiple selection, should resize all events, both note events and sequence events in the arrangement. I’ll put a higher priority on this. Until then you can do it using the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+Plus and Ctrl+Minus. They use the current quantize value in the editor as step value.

thanks Frits
duncanparsonsI’ve had that too…
I’d forgotton about the key-shortcuts..!

super_crunchytime to print ’em out and stick ’em on the wall 😉 on a big arse sheet of A2 paper 😆
super_crunchyhow can we adjust the velocity of multiple notes at the same time, in the same way lengths can be adjusted with CTRL and +/-?
ZynewaveYou can’t do it with the mouse currently. You can use the +/- keys to adjust velocities for all selected notes. I could add the use of the shift key when dragging in the velocity area to adjust velocity for all selected events, but I was kind of saving the shift key for ‘relative’ adjustment of velocities as an alternative to the absolute velocities you normally set with the mouse.
Which do you want? 😉
duncanparsonsif you want to keep shift, why not use ALT or CTRL? I’m not fussed, it sounds an excellent feature whatever key combination is used!
DSP
Zynewavewhy not use ALT or CTRL?
Alt is used for segment selection (as used in all editors) and Control is used for setting velocity to default value.

That explains that behaviour!!! I always found it a weird one when editting – I never got to the bottom of what was happening!!!
How about CTRL+SHIFT… or is this getting rather too much like Word 4.0? (If you press anything with F9, all your text will vanish before your very eyes…!)
There must be a way of doing it – even an option button along with the one that only affects the selected notes. If there was a toggle that would switch between the current operation and one where dragging up and down in the velocity window will raise/lower all selected velocities following the mouse movement… or had you already got there?

reading this again – isn’t this what we want anyway?
No Shift – what happens now
With Shift – Velocities all rise and fall with mouse movt…
if this is so – yes please, that will do nicely…and ignore my previous post!!!!
DSP
ZynewaveThat explains that behaviour!!!
I aim to use control+click to set default values where it makes sense. I.e. curve & velocity editing and dials in the mixer.
How about CTRL+SHIFT…
Combinations of Ctrl+Shift+Alt are shortcuts for the three zoom tools + the slide tool.
even an option button along with the one that only affects the selected notes
Yes, I will probably put an edit mode button there that toggles between absolute and relative editing. Shift key can then be used to edit velocity for all selected events.

What I had in mind with the relative edit mode, was still to edit individual notes. You could click in the editor, drag in a straight line along the x axis, and nothing would change. If you however also move the mouse up or down while dragging along x, you could create variations in velocity. Hope that makes sense.

this all sounds great 8)
