Chapter 26: MIDI Operations 591
Duration Enable to influence the durations of
the selected MIDI notes. At a setting of 100%,
durations are changed to match the current
groove template. Set to 200%, durations in-
crease and decrease based on the ratio of the
original duration of the selected notes and the
durations in the template.
The default value for the Duration slider is
100%.
Velocity
Enable to influence the velocities of the
selected MIDI notes. If the slider is set to 0%
there is no change to the selected velocities, a
setting of 100% sets all velocities to match the
current groove template. A velocity setting of
200% typically results in over-exaggerated ve-
locities—loud notes increasing and soft notes
decreasing in volume.
For example, if two adjacent notes have equal
velocities of 80, and the two corresponding tem-
plate velocities are 70 and 90, setting the slider
to 200% changes both to velocities of 60 and
100.
The default value for the Velocity slider is 100%.

Beat Detective does not extract duration in-
formation from audio performances. Digi-
Groove templates created using Beat Detec-
tive contain a fixed duration value that is
50% of the selected template resolution (see
“Defining a Beat Detective Selection” on
page 538).
