TimeForMusic Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Is this possible? I have a super long string run of 16th notes and I want a nice descending velocity pattern that resets on each downbeat. Is it possible to apply this to a pre-recorded run of MIDI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 The velocity value is an attribute of the Note event, they're not separable.Which makes what you're asking not possible — at least not without some kind of trickery and I can't think of anything at the moment (perhaps with a Transformer in the environment but that would require re-recording the notes).

Yeah... that was my concern... I feel like other DAWs can do something like this? I know Cubase can do velocity ramps while maintaining ratios, for instance (not exactly the same but still some trickery). Would be cool if Logic could implement something for this, but I understand the complication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Logic can do that too (Scale and Select: draw a line with the Pencil tool in a MIDI editor's Automation area). But no, that's not the same as what you originally asked.

CCTMusic Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Hi Is this possible? I have a super long string run of 16th notes and I want a nice descending velocity pattern that resets on each downbeat. Is it possible to apply this to a pre-recorded run of MIDI? You can do this using Groove templates: Make a groove template of the original region. Apply that template to the target region, with Q velocity set to 127 ( or whatever), with or without timing Q CCT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
