Can velocity of a midi note be globally changed
I like the variance of the velocity chosen for a kick drum track, but the velocity is to high. Can I globally slide down those velocity line. I see I can draw across, But I would like to keep the same variance and just slide it all down a ways. I'm using Addictive Drums.

You can also click the kick note on the piano in the the piano roll view. This will highlight all the kicks. With all kicks highlighted, use the smart tool to grab the top part of one of the selected notes. If you grab the right spot, you can slide up or down to change velocity. It keeps them relative till you hit the ceiling and floor of course, so watch as you slide.

Nice tip! So, question for ya. If I slide the velocity scale all the way to 0 or 127, do all selected notes change to 0 or 127? I was wondering b/c I had tried just every velocity in between and like mentioned, they all changed % wise or relative to their original values and was stumped how to make them all the same velocity.

Make the note selection
Change the velocity in the Event Inspector. All the notes selected will be set to the value input into the Event Inspector. If the initial note in the selected set is already at the desired value, it may be necessary to set the value to something different and then set the desired value.

And last-but-not-least is the Velocity Offset widget on MIDI/Simple Instrument tracks (Gain in the Track Inspector or Vel+ in the track header). It will add or subtract a fixed velocity value to every event non-destructively on playback. This makes it easy to choose a value by ear as the you listen to the track.

Moving everything up so more velocities hit 127 is also the MIDI equivalent of limiting. With the Scale Velocity option, you can also do the equivalent of compression and expansion.

I always use Find/Change but you have to know the highest and lowest value in the existing track. This way is not as convenient as those above, but it can be very precise.
Example: C3 currently goes from low of 85 to high of 100 and you want them all 10 lower. Do Find/Change. On the first screen click ALL and then select note values of C3 and C3 and velocities of 85 and 100. On the second screen click ALL and then select note values of C3 and C3 and velocities of 75 and 90.

That's where the Event Inspector is a lot easier. Just enter -10, and it will apply the offset without your having to know the range. Incidentally, there are CAL scripts named LoVel and HiVel that will find the range for you.

Dave, You just changed my life with those CAL scripts. I will use those all the time.
Some VIs sound really different according to velocity (e.g., Vienna) so this is important.
Thanks.

Glad to help, Konrad. I long ago intended to merge those two scripts to find both Hi and Lo in one go, but never got around to it. These days, I tend to just scan the velocity tails in the PRV, and estimate a range that encompasses everything.
I have to reiterate that the the Event Inspector really addresses most cases of simple velocity interpolation. It's only when you want to both move the center and change the "dynamic range" in one go that you would need to use Interpolate (a.k.a. Find/Change). But it's easy enough to do it in two steps with Event Inspector.

Good to know, thanks!
I am one of these guys who has used Cakewalk since it ran on a steam engine with an Etch-a-Sketch monitor, so when I got X1, I basically learned how to do what I had always been doing, and then added some of the more critical new functions to my skill set. By now I am really fast and productive on Sonar X1, but there are no doubt better ways of doing some things. Software this deep and broad always has more to learn.

I had a song where the kick was generally 70-85 but occasional 120-127.
I wrote a quick CAL script to set note=36 to 90-95 based on 120-127.

 Likewise; I started with Cakewalk for DOS 2.0 on an 80286. It took me quite a while to learn to reach for the Event Inspector before Interpolate.
