Velocity
Adjusts the velocity of the selected notes.
➜ The Add field lets you add a fixed amount to the velocity values.
To subtract, enter a negative amount. Note that the possible velocity
range is 0-127. Adding an amount to a note with velocity 127 will not
make any difference.
➜ The Scale field allows you to scale velocities by a percentage factor.
Scaling with a factor above 100% will increase the velocity values, but
also make the difference between soft and hard notes bigger. Scaling
with a factor below 100% will decrease the velocity values, but also make
the difference between soft and hard notes smaller.
➜ By combining the Add and Scale functions, you can adjust the “dy-
namics” of the notes in various ways.
For example, by using a Scale factor below 100% and Add a suitable
amount, you can “compress” the velocity values (decreasing the differ-
ence between the velocity values without lowering the average velocity).
Scale Tempo
This function will make the selected events play back faster (Scale factor
above 100%) or slower (Scale factor below 100%). This is achieved by
changing the position of the events (starting from the first selected event)
and adjusting the length of the notes accordingly.
➜ The buttons [*2] and [/2] are “shortcuts” to Scale factors 200% and
50%, respectively.
These are probably the most common values used, simulating double
tempo and half tempo.
! This function affects all types of events: notes, controllers and pat-
tern changes!
Alter Notes
This function alters the properties pitch, length and velocity of the selected
notes in a random fashion.
➜ The function will only “use” values that already exist among the se-
lected notes.
For example, if you have selected notes within a specific pitch interval,
the altered notes will remain within this pitch interval. Similarly, only ve-
locity values and note lengths that were already used in the selection will
be applied by the Alter function. You could say that the function “shuffles”
the existing properties in a selection and redistributes them among the
notes.
! This means that the less variation there is among the selected
notes, the less the effect of the Alter function.
➜ You can adjust the amount of Altering with the Amount value.
✪ This function is especially useful for experimenting with REX loops.
Select some notes on a Dr.Rex track and use Alter Notes to create
instant variations, without losing the timing and rhythmic feel of the
loop!
