Remember in addition to altering velocity we can also drop down here under target control and choose many other choices including painting and pitch. Remember to adjust the velocity under the chop section so your levels vary as we did in lesson 5, The slice tool is nice for slicing up notes into smaller pieces, you could use the slice tool to make rolls or wrap it for our beats,Ī better option however it is to use the chop feature, use the select tool to select a note to chop then go to the Tools menu and choose chop,Ī pop-up will appear to adjust the time multiple cleaner knob for more or chops or you can click the pattern folder and choose a preset, The playback button switches your mouse into a vertical line that when you click and drag plays any notes and encounters the zoom tool does just what it says and has some right-click presets.

If we wanted to duplicate or clone these notes for use in extended versions of our pattern we can hold shift prior to moving the selected notes,Ī new copy will be produced and can be placed after the original, to adjust the notes to better match our tempo or other content we can stretch the pattern Then left-click and drag to the desired location. To do this mouse over a note and look for the compass arrows pointing up down left and right to appear, If we then go back to the draw tool we can move all the selected notes at once in any direction, In this lesson, we’re going to explore how to perform some more advanced tricks and techniques in the piano roll using the scores we may have already previously recorded.įor this lesson, you may want to already have a score programmed into a multi-note instrument in one of your channels of the step sequencer as well as one for a channel featuring a drum sample.įirst, let’s go into the piano roll for the drum sample, we can now access some of the tools of the piano roll to alter our score in interesting ways, here we can go to the Select tool which will allow you to draw a box around all notes you wish to select, In our previous lessons, we already explored some of the helpers and tools available when working with the piano roll.
