To Set the Velocity Offset for a Track
In the track you want to change, click and drag the Vel+ control to the desired
setting.
You can also change the velocity offset in a variety of other ways, as described on
page 132. To change the velocity offset for more than one track at a time, select the
tracks you want to change and choose Track-Property-Vel+.
Adjusting the Time Alignment of a MIDI Track
(Time+)
Each event takes place at a known point in the project. On playback, the time
offset (Time+) parameter adjusts the times for MIDI events in the track by the
designated amount. The value can be as small as a single clock tick or as large as
you want.
This parameter can be used to make a part play behind the beat or in front of it or
to compensate for tracks that sound rushed or late. The time shift can be used to
create a chorus or slap-back echo effect by making a copy of a track and then
applying a small offset to the copy. You can use larger time offsets to shift a track
earlier or later by several beats or measures.
Note that you cannot shift any event earlier than 1:01:000. For example, if the first
event in the track starts at 2:01:000, you cannot shift its start time earlier by more
than one measure.
This parameter does not affect the time that is stored for each note event. When
the clip is displayed in other views, like the Piano Roll, Staff, or Event List view,
you will see the original times as they are stored in the file.
