Velocity in midi editor

[EricWatkins]

Cubase 4.5. In the midi editor of any given track/part, there is a controller lane that defaults to velocity data. That's all well and good. My question is; Why sometimes, cant I modify the velocity data with the line tool and other time I cant. Like I might have 4 bars worth of midi data and I want to put a nice even ramp upwards on the velocity for those 4 bars. Sometimes I can just drag a line over that velocity controller lane and they all snap to the line but other times it doesnt do a darn thing. Any ideas why?

I have seen similar weirdness at times but can't explain it.

if you have any other events selected in the editor, then you won't be be able to edit anything but the evens selected.

Perhaps you have inadvertently selected some events and tried to edit other "unselected" events.

Just guessing.

Cheers,

First possibility: if any note in the part is selected, line tools will only alter than note's controller data. You have to deselect notes to alter all notes' data.

... looks like Thonex was quicker to the draw there. :-)

That's it. Thanks so much. SumBitch that thing had me messed up for years. Lol! Now on to the rest of the problems!

on the same topic, sometimes when I'm trying to edit the velocity of drum hits...say I select the snare on the left hand column to show all the velocity bars in the window at the bottom, when I click on one bar to where I want the velocity to be the snare de-selects and all the bars dissapear. I have to reselect it and alter the next one, and so on and so on.

Total frustration!

Don't feel bad. I've been using Cubase since the Atari days, and only last year did I come to know the way to disable solo function on tracks so they don't mute when you solo a different track. Pitiful. But I hadn't needed it until a few years ago.

There is just so much to these kinds of programs, that I'm amazed they even work at all, let alone have some glitches.
