The Curse of the Tiny Continuous Data Points

Post by agentry1 »

Please tell me I'm an idiot and I'm missing some preference somewhere to increase the size of these things beyond 1 pixel by 1 pixel. At 1080p resolution, it's absolutely maddening to have to grab a single pixel to adjust stuff. :banghead:

One easy and fast way to adjust them is using the reshape tool. Select the notes you want to adjust by just dragging across them (either the notes or the velocities), then hold down "R" and click or drag where you'd like the value to end up. You can also select what kind of characteristic the reshaping action is going to have, i.e. it can be drawn freehand, or result in a straight line, or result in a clean curve, etc.

This method is actually much faster than grabbing and dragging as soon as you have to adjust more than just one of those little chicken feet. And since you adjust with the reshape tool, it actually doesn't matter how many values you selected that you don't want to change, as long as the one that you do want to change is selected.

Hope this helps.

If you have a scroll mouse, what I do is select the velocity to be changed in the graphic editor/sequence editor go up to the information bar for the note and use the scroll wheel over the velocity readout. Very easy.
