I really don't know how this kind of functionality is named but I am going to try to explain myself.

You have 1/16 hit hat pattern and you want to edit the velocity values so that they increase from 0 to 127 in a linear curve.

Or maybe that the values visually look like a Sine wave, going up or down.

So I select the notes and with a context menu I can select different shapes for the visual representation of those values.

I know I have seen some DAW have some tool to do this, right now the only thing I can remember where I saw something similar is in relayer where you can choose different shapes for the different delay values edit windows.

Maybe someone can help me identify which DAW has this functionality.

Thanks.

Temper?

Cubase can do this, what you do there basically is use a "line" tool as a form of a pencil and the line can have different shapes like sine, saw etc. That way you can draw that line into the automation points.

sounds to me like you are talking about automation with an LFO.
you can do this in every daw. maybe i am misunderstanding you. you can draw an envelop covering the span of the pattern or selection you wish and then you put an envelope over the top of that with whatever shape you choose and whatever rate, i.e. sine or saw or what ever. i use fl a lot and i'm doing stuff like that all the time.

He talks about an edit tool, not modulation. The line tool in cubase can do what you are looking for.

yes and i said in my post add an envelope and put the ability for modulating the envelope second...

there's scripts/addons for Reaper that can do that too but I would not recommend reaper if you can afford Cubase. Maybe FL Studio can do it as well.

I still haven't worked out what a linear curve is.

Logic has the midi draw option. You can set a velocity curve and also can set the concave.
I thought this is a normal feature each DAW has today?

Well what I don't like about drawing is that is not going to be accurate, as in a straight line or a perfect sine wave.

I thought a feature like this would be more commonly implemented.

The sine/parabol line tool in cubase is accurate.

For me it is accurate in Logic. I drag a line over all the notes and i have a perfect straight line up or down. As said i also can set the concave then.
I'm sure there are also midi FX tools which let you assign LFO's to midi parameters.

You can also use the Transform window in Logic to generate or modify existing data.

Ableton with Max4live can do a lot of transform

DAW with MIDI transform tools?
