Chapter 29: MIDI Editing 589
To scale velocities with the Trimmer tool:
1 Set the MIDI or Instrument track to Velocity
view.
2 Using the Selector tool or any Grabber tool, se-
lect the range of notes to be edited.
3 With the Trimmer tool, click near the range of
selected notes and drag up or down. Dragging
up increases the velocities for each note and
dragging down decreases them.
Velocity Trimmer Tool
To trim the velocity of one or more selected MIDI
notes:
„ With the Grabber tool selected, Control-click
(Windows) or Command-click (Mac) the note
and drag up or down. Notice that the Grabber
tool changes to the Velocity Trimmer tool.
Drag up to increase the velocity value, or down
to decrease it. While dragging, the diamond
turns blue and the associated note becomes se-
lected. The dragged velocity values are reflected
in the Cursor Location Value indicator (in the
Edit window).
Auditioning Velocity Changes
If the Play MIDI Notes When Editing option is
enabled, Pro Tools plays the note at the new ve-
locity when editing velocities for MIDI notes
with the Grabber tool. This lets you hear when
you have the velocity setting you want for a
MIDI note.
Typing in Note Attributes
When an individual note is selected with the
Pencil tool or any Grabber tool, its attributes are
displayed in the Event Edit area.
Pitch is listed by note name and octave number.
Attack and release velocities are listed with their
MIDI values (0–127). Edit Selection Start, End,
and Length times are displayed in the Main
Time Scale.
Changing velocities with the Trimmer tool
Editing simultaneous velocities
If two notes have the same start time (with
velocity stalks on top of each other), Con-
trol-drag (Windows) or Command-drag
(Mac) the actual note up or down to adjust
its velocity.
