Increaing velocity of ALL MIDI notes on a track in event view in SONAR X2.

I have a MIDI track with the volume already set at 127 BUT the velocity settings for each note in the event view are approx 60 - 70 for each note. If I increase each note velocity to 110-120 the volume increases (obviously!) My question ...Is there a simple way of increasing the velocity of each note in the track by a standard +50 to save me editing each note one at a time ( taking approx 2 hours!)
Thanks in advance,  Malcolm

    Yes, you can use the Event Inspector. Check out my video Event Inspector Editing video at: http://www.garrigus.com/

    Alternatively, you can just select the track number in the track pane (so that all clips in the track become selected), and then use the smart tool on one of the notes to increase its velocity by the amount you want. Since all of the other notes are selected, their velocities will be increased by the same amount.

    Thanks Scott for your VERY helpful reply. My Event Inspector was "hidden" so I have only just discovered how useful it is!.
    Incidentally, when I upgraded to X2 a few weeks ago, I bought your book "SONAR X2 POWER!" and have found it absolutely invaluable so would heartily recommend it to any SONAR X2 user. I bought my copy from Amazon.co.uk and got free postage!
    Also, just subscribed to your newsletter.
    Thanks again,  Malcolm
    Sonar X2 produced music coming to m-soundz on soundcloud very soon.

    If you need to increase or decrease the notes' velocities by an equal proportion rather than fixed amount (i.e. ratio rather than scalar), you can select all clips in the track as sharke indicated, then use the Process -> Scale Velocity dialog.  Check the 'Percentages' checkbox and set the begin and end fields to the same value that you would like to increase or decrease the velocities by.  In this way the relationships between the notes' velocities is preserved.

    For the ultimate flexibility when managing Midi velocities, check out the oft-overlooked Midi Velocity plugin.
     
    This is a Process effect, rather than real time, but it's pretty darn awesome in its capability

    Hey Colin... you can use the plug-in in real-time too. Just add it to the FX bin of a MIDI track or clip.

    I think there are CAL scripts to do just that - and many other things.
     
    Not in event inspector per se, but on clips on tracks.
