To insert a series of notes with random velocities:
1
Set the MIDI or Instrument track to Notes
View.
2
Select the Pencil tool and make sure it is set to
Random.
3
Set the Main Time Scale to Bars:Beats. In addi-
tion, set the Edit mode to Grid and the Grid
value to quarter notes (0|1|000).
With these settings, the notes are inserted
spaced one quarter note apart.
4
Click at the point to insert the first note and
drag to the right until the number of notes you
want have been inserted.
Manually Editing MIDI Notes
All aspects of a MIDI note can be edited from the
Edit window, including start and end points,
duration, pitch, and velocity. The Selector,
Grabber, and Pencil tools can operate on indi-
vidual notes or groups of notes.
Selecting MIDI Notes
MIDI notes must be selected, before they can be
edited.
To select MIDI notes, do one of the following:
■
With the Pencil tool or any Grabber tool,
Shift-click each note.
■
With any Grabber tool, move the cursor to
where there are no notes (the Marquee appears)
and click and draw a rectangle around the group
of notes you want to edit.
When using a Grabber tool, if any portion of the
rectangle touches a note (either its start or end
point), the note is included in the selection.
However, selections made with a Grabber tool
do not include underlying controller and auto-
mation data for the MIDI track.
■
With the Selector tool, drag across a range of
notes.
When using the Selector tool, a note’s start
point must be included in order for it to be se-
lected. When a MIDI or Instrument track is in
Notes or Regions View, selections made with the
Selector tool include all underlying controller
and automation data.
