How to adjust velocity of all selected MIDI notes? (FIXED)

[TryingToMakeMusic]

I need to raise the velocity for all selected MIDI notes, but when I try, this happens.

I'm just doing a regular click-and-drag on the velocity bar. I'm not doing a click-and-release on that one bar before doing the drag.

(P.S. how do I make the LICEcap GIF appear inline instead of as an attachment?)

I'm still a noobie, but I do this like so: select the notes, go to Event List, hit Control+F2, which brings up a dialogue box. You can then change the velocity of all notes there. I sometimes find that the length may also get changed when doing this, so I just adjust that as well using the same method.

Thanks, that works for me. I still hope there's a way to do it with the mouse, since I'd like to immediately hear the adjustment I'm making while dragging through a range of values.

Select the notes to change as you have done; then drag the mouse over them in the Velocity lane, starting from an empty area:

That is a good technique to know, but it's not what I'm looking for in this case. I want to keep all the selected velocities equal to each other, while changing all selected velocities by a constant value.

Thanks.

And off topic, thanks for your help on Melda forum. I don't post there, but I read. I don't understand his Time-Graphs either. Not clear what the labels apply to. Maybe I'll sign up there to agree with you next time you ask him to improve that feature.

Oops, I mis-read.

Select the notes, right-click one of them, select 'Note Properties', then type in the desired velocity, or + followed by a number to increase them all by that number, or ...

I think it should do that by default. I've never had it otherwise. Maybe you changed mouse modifiers in preferences? Maybe a problem with your mouse? Can you move all selected notes without losing selection? It seems easy to get a conflict between various mouse modifiers...

Push the quote button on my post to see how I used img and /img in brackets to frame it. Some more info at bottom left corner of this forum page.

My 2 cents:

Select as in the gif, then shift+mousewheel in the CC-lane.

You can also directly select the velocity bars in the CC-lane by dragging right-clicked mouse over the desired CC's. So you can stay in the CC-lane with your cursor for further adjustments.

That's how I do it.

Shift-mousewheel works for me. Excellent, thank you.

The method shown in my gif works for a set of notes not overlapping in time. The problem only happens when notes are stacked vertically all at the same time.

Yes.

I used to be able to select a group of notes like in the gif and click on one of the velocity bars and it would move all selected notes velocities

But since one of the recent updates i can no longer do this basic edit

I haven't checked with the latest 5.29 release

Further testing (just moved to v5.29) shows that Reaper's behavior is random:

This is what exactly happens to me

Strange Behavior, not sure what update caused it!

[EvilDragon]

And again, I cannot duplicate that behaviour over here...
