Using Draw Mode for velocity in Live 10

Post by jonel » Tue Oct 16, 2018 2:54 pm

I'm sure it used to be the case that you could quickly draw a velocity contour when Draw Mode was active. I can't seem to get this to work here and the Live 10 manual states that I can make all the velocities the same by drawing a rectangle. Making them all the same was never a problem in Live but drawing a contour was very handy. Am I just missing something?

Thanks

Jonel

Draw mode for velocity works on selected notes.

Thank you very much. Like I said, I used to do this before but couldn't remember having to select the notes.

I don't remember how it worked before, could have been either way.

But this makes sense to me. Imagine a drumrack and you want to add a little velocity variation to just one pad. Klick on the note on the piano strip (or name of that pad when it's folded) to select all instances of that note, now you can draw freely all across the clip without affecting any other pads.
