Nudging event positions
You can use the left/right arrow keys to “nudge” the positions of selected events. It
works as follows:
• Pressing [Command] (Mac)/[Ctrl] (Windows) and using the left or right arrow key
moves the position back or forward by the set Snap value.
• Pressing [Command]+[Option] (Mac)/[Ctrl]+ [Alt] (Windows) and using the left
or right arrow key moves the position back or forward in tick increments (there are
240 ticks per 1/16 note so this is very fine editing - check the tick positions in the
inspector when you nudge because otherwise you won’t “see” the position
changes).
• Pressing [Command]+[Shift] (Mac)/[Ctrl]+ [Shift] (Windows) and using the left or
right arrow key moves the position back or forward in beat increments.
Duplicating notes
To duplicate the selected notes, hold down [Option] (Mac) or [Ctrl] (Windows) and
proceed as when moving notes.
Using Cut, Copy and Paste
You can move or duplicate events using the Cut, Copy and Paste commands on the
Edit menu.
D When you Cut or Copy, the song position is automatically moved to the
end of the selection.
You can use this for repeating events.
D When you Paste, the events appear at the song position, on the original
lane.
You can only paste notes when a note clip is open for editing.
Resizing notes
When you select a note, a handle appears on its right edge. You can click on this han-
dle and drag to make the note shorter or longer.
D If Snap is on, the end of the note will be magnetic to the Snap value po-
sitions.
You can disable this function temporarily by pressing [Shift] when you drag. This
allows you to resize the note to any length, regardless of the Snap value.
D If several notes are selected, all will be resized by the same amount.
D When resizing notes the event may extend outside the right clip edge.
As long as the start position of events is inside the clip, the note will play for the
whole duration, i.e. it won’t be cut off when the clip ends.
D You can also edit the length of notes numerically in the inspector.
See page 83.
About resizing drum notes
Drum notes can be resized as any other notes. However, the result of this depends on
the settings of the Decay/Gate switch and the Length knob for the drum sound on the
Redrum panel:
D If Decay mode is selected, the drum sound will play to its end, regardless
of the note length.
Or rather, it will fade out according to the Length setting.
D If Gate mode is selected, the note length affects the resulting sound.
However, the maximum length of the sound is set by the Length knob - the sound
will be cut off after this length, regardless of the note length.
Finally, even if the Length knob is set to its maximum value, the sound will not play
longer than the length of the drum sample.
Deleting notes
You can delete notes in two ways:
D Select them and press [Backspace] or [Delete], or select Delete from the
Edit menu.
D Select the Eraser tool and click on the notes you want to delete.
About masked events
If you resize a clip (making it shorter) events may be masked, i.e. events may end up
outside the clip. Such events are not played back and are not visible in Arrange mode.
Masked events are visible for open clips in Edit mode.
Masked note events outside a clip have a white border and the background is dark.
Note that just switching to Edit mode won’t show masked events. A clip has to be
open to see these events. You can remove masked-out events using the function
“Crop Events to Clips” on the Edit menu (see page 73).
