Drawing a straight midi velocity ramp up or down

nebulae · Post by **nebulae** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 5:36 pm

Since we do not have a line tool (yet?!?!), can anyone tell me the best way to draw a straight ramp up or down in the velocity curves?

My guess is that this has to be done with clip automation with the midi volume (cc7). Any thoughts?

And while we're on this topic, any support for a line tool in the midi editor? Or a context menu item like FL Studio's "Smooth curve"?

um turn off the pencil and use the envelope points?

I suggest automating the max value of a velocity plugin for this. A line tool would be great though.

click 2 dots on the envelope line. drag the first one to top left, and the second to bottom right,...

ooft a line

Can you explain this a bit further? When you turn off the pencil you can only edit the velocities of each midi note individually. Can you be more specific?

So you're talking about clip envelopes, right?

if you use Machinate's advice you'll get a line to automate

i don't think you'll see a line for individual note velocitys
