• Click and drag a note event to move it to another position (when multiple note events are selected,

you can move them all simultaneously). You can position note events only on quantization values

defined by the set Time Correct value (indicated by vertical lines in the grid), but if you hold down

your keyboard's Shift key while moving a note event, you can drag it to any position you like,

regardless of the selected Time Correct value.

• Hold down Control (Windows) or Command (Mac OS X) and move a note to duplicate it. You can

also duplicate note events by selecting them on the grid and then pressing Control + D (Windows)

or Command + D (Mac OS X). The selected note events will be automatically copied and pasted,

starting from the step just after the last selected note event.

• Use the copy & paste function to copy a note in the clipboard (Control + C [PC] or Command + C

[Mac OS X]) and paste it automatically where the audio pointer is with Control + V [PC] or

Command + V (Mac OS X).

Tip: Press your MPC hardware's 16 Level button to activate/deactivate 16 Level. When activated, the last

pad that was hit will be temporarily copied to all 16 pads. The pads will now output the same note number

as the initial pad, but a selectable parameter will be fixed at values that increase as the pad numbers

increase (e.g., Pad 1 is the minimum, Pad 16 is the maximum), regardless of how hard you hit them. In

the software, in the window that appears, click the Type menu to select the parameter: Velocity, Tune,

Filter, Layer, Attack, or Decay. You can change the pad by clicking the Pad drop-down menu in the

window that appears. Alternatively, you can press and hold the 16 Level button, press the desired pad,

and then release both.

Editing Velocities

Velocity data can be easily edited in the velocity lane (Select Mode and Draw Mode):

• Click a note event in the grid or place the mouse over a velocity bar in the lane. A small round

handle will appear at the top of the velocity bar. Click and drag the round handle up or down to

change the velocity.

To increase the resolution, hold Control (Windows) or Command (Mac OS X) on your computer's

keyboard while dragging.

• When you have selected multiple note events, you can edit their velocity values simultaneously. To

select multiple note events, use the Select Box tool. To select all note events for a single pad (Drum

Program) or key of the virtual keyboard (Keygroup Program), click the desired pad or key.
