    One more tip: SHIFT + DOUBLE CLICK on a note event (not piano roll) and you will select all notes of same pitch to the right from the clicked note event. Just like in the Arrange window you would do to parts, audio events, etc.

    This is so full of useful MIDI tips that I have saved it especially so that I can keep going back to it. Plus, the technology behind this video is really good and professional-like - for example: the way there is a zoom-in on menus and other important information so that it is so easy to see it properly. Dom - I only discovered your videos a few days ago, but I'm working my way through them all. Thanks for making them. I'm new to CuBase - I'm not a total newbie as I write my own specialist MIDI software, and I'm used to other products like Band-in-a-Box, Sibelius, Neuratron etc - but I only acquired CuBase Elements 11 recently to hopefully replace my Yamaha AW16 recording studio with something with more capability, and your tutorials are *very* helpful indeed.

    @piktormusic2538 Před 2 lety +1

    Thank you Dom. I always like this kind of content and, though I already knew most of these tips, there is always something new to be learned. The expansion/compression of velocities and controller data trick is new for me.
    I appreciate your delivery, video production values, enthusiasm, etc.
    There is one more tip that I use frequently. It is possible to colourize the notes by PART and then open up two or more parts at the same time in the key editor. That is a very useful function when you want to edit parts that need to interact rhythmically (e.g. click and bass) or if you have chords formed by independent instruments (like string orchestra, choir, synth quartet, etc).

    Fantastic tips! I'm using a few of these already but the one that I found in this video (that I've not discovered yet) is the one for creating curves in the CC editor by removing all but the one point where you wish to create the smooth curve. This will be hugely useful for the string parts that I'm constantly editing CC data for, to get the expression to sound right.

    1) shift + double-click on a note will select all MIDI notes of the same pitch to the end of midi clip;
    2) 'quantize end' must be set-up in shortcut preferences for a quick use;
    My favorites are "Cloned midi clips". Also there is a way to make all notes to have the same length just with a help of two mouse clicks.
    The Key Editor really lacks of range selection tool like Ableton, for easier copy/paste of parts.
    Didn't know about 'reset quantize', cool!
