Midi Editing in W12

[mchoffmann]

Hi all,
i went through the new MIDI featureset and am still missing things i need over and over again.

Lets say i have a drumtrack i recorded manually (on keyboard or iRig Pads). Sometimes the velocities are not right for the instrument i want to use.
So i would like to...
Grab all Notes with a certain Pitch with velocity below VALUE
and add 20 points of velocity to VALUE,
or multiply VALUE by 150 %

Cubase used to have a logical editor for stuff like that 20 years ago,my old samplitude can do that but i still can´t see a way of doing stuff like that in W.
Am i missing something?
Cheers
M

I'll have a stab. There's a way to 'show velocity " in the midi clip, where you'll get all the velocity as vertical bars under the clip. If you then select all the notes in the midi clip the bars should highlight and you might be able to drag up to a new value while keeping there relative differences intact.
I'm going from memory in older versions, I may be way off

Yes, i know that, but that is not what i want. I want to change velo for only certain events (e.g. with velo below VALUE).
If at last i could select evernts in the velo window only marking a certain range that would at least be a little relief...
I am amazed this is not in the focus of many people. Something like chord progressions combined with a pad layout on the other hand is something i cannot imagine ever using (having a keyboard and guitars.....)
Cheers

My first music software was a thing called Prism (circa 1990). It was a sequencer rather than a DAW. It allowed any alterations of anything based on ranges and values. Editing, moving to new tracks, anything. It has always surprised me that modern DAWs with slick GUIs don't have this. I'm hoping to be able to access Prism again at some point but need to either find the floppy disk it came on or work out how to get it off an ancient hard drive (pre IDE, not SCSI) I can't currently communicate with.

IIRC, some of the earliest music software were categorised as "trackers". Reaper started out as one of these, but I don't know of it still qualifies, or if anyone still uses trackers.

Funny, i also started with PRISM, it was a Windows-like GUI running on MS-DOS.....

Citation, please. All Ive ever heard said about it, including by Justin Frankel, is that it was based on the audio editing side of Sony Vegas. Frankel wasnt using trackers, he was using Logic then Vegas.

Yep, you're right. Looks like I remembered that wrongly. Perhaps mixed it up with some other software that did develop from a tracker.
