Welcome to this next section in this section. We'll dive into the world of advanced editing and automation. So let's get started. OK. So I've made this new project and let's select this Epic Pop Piano Midi region which currently has no Midi notes. We can open the Midi editor by selecting a Midi track and pressing the pencil icon at the bottom. OK. So now let's have a look at the tools at the top of the Midi editor in the piano roll. The brush tool can be used to draw in continuous midi data. You can use it to draw multiple notes of equal length set to the snap value located on the top right of the piano roll window. Let's now talk about velocity velocity in music production refers to the intensity and notes played velocity adds expression to performances, influencing the volume, Tomb and character of individual notes, making it a crucial element for achieving real sounding performances and emotion. In electronic and sampled instruments. You can alter the velocity of a note in real time...

from a play surface by tapping on the notes harder for a greater velocity just like a real instrument. You can also change the velocity of midi notes after they've been recorded or programmed in. Let me show you quickly. Now how to do this. Let's open the editor for this piano Midi region which has some Midi notes in it. Let's now adjust the velocity for these Midi notes. Tap one note and hold it. Then with the first note held, tap the other notes you want to select, you can also tap and hold a blank space and then drag to create a box which will select all the notes inside. Finally, you can select all by tapping a blank space and tapping. Select all once notes are selected, find the velocity tool at the top of the piano roll window. This lets you view and adjust the velocity for each note in the piano roll. As you drag vertically on individual notes, you'll hear the notes repeat at the adjuster velocity to help you gauge how loud the note will be. Let's zoom in. So we can see this a bit clearer. We can drag the note velocity up to increase the velocity and we can drag the velocity down to decrease the velocity with higher velocity amounts. It sounds like the note was played harder and with lower velocity amounts, it sounds like a note was played softer. OK. Let's zoom out and now let's select the cord and adjust the velocity for this cord. Let's hear what this sounds like first though. OK. Let's zoom in and let's increase the velocity by dragging up. Now, when I play this back, it should sound like this chord has been played louder than before. OK. Let me show you how to adjust the velocity for a pattern. Patterns are most commonly used for drums, but they can be used for other instruments as well. Let's now adjust the velocity for this drum pattern. So let's now uns solo, the Epic pop piano track. Let's solo the Go Go funk track and let's select the pattern region. Now, let's open up the pattern editor by tapping this button down here and let's drag the pattern editor up. So we can see the rest of the drums. Now in the pattern editor, make sure we select velocity value up here. That way we can adjust the velocity of the steps in the step sequence. Sir. This will provide a similar view on individual notes as the piano roll where you can adjust the velocity of individual steps. Let's hear this back first though before we adjust the velocity. OK. So let's adjust the velocity for the high hat. Let's make some of these quieter. So some of the high hat hits sound like they're being played softer. Let's just zoom in a bit. So we can see this a bit clearer. OK. Let's hear this back now. So we can create more of a human fill when we adjust the velocity. When a human plays an instrument, each note hit will be a different velocity compared to a computer where you can program it. So the notes have the same velocity. So for a more human style sound, even in electronic music, I recommend adjusting some of the velocities. If you're programmed in the notes. If you performed in the notes, then there will be a range of velocities which can help make your music sound less robotic or rigid. For a broader change. First, open the inspector from the arrangement window by adjusting the velocity parameter inside the inspector, you can change the velocity for all notes in a selected region or region simultaneously. So we can drag up or down to increase or decrease the velocity percentage for all of the midi notes in the region. We can do this with the velocity over here in the inspector. We can also type in the number if you tap on velocity here by mastering Velocity control in logic pro for ipad, you can breathe life into your mini performances, creating expressive and dynamic music that resonates with realism and emotion. OK. So that's velocity. Next, let's have a look at quantis.
