MIDI NOTES: is there a velocity 'y axis' , so I can visually see which notes are louder?

[Autorall]

Hello guys,

In Logic, is there a way to SEE midi notes velocity, like in a 'y Axis'? 
I'm attaching Ableton Live's interface (image attached 'Velocity-Ableton.jpeg') to depict what I mean.
It's so much easier to just push up and down the velocities using pencil tool.

I'm exploring the possibilities on this matter on Logic right now. So far, I just got into this screen (see image attached 'Velocity-2-Logic').
Tried a bit of tweaking on this, using pencil, velocity tool, but didn't get quite a good result.

Any hints on this topic will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Paulo

Don't have Logic open right now to make sure I get the details exactly right, but you should be able to select velocity from the automation menu (where it says 'Ch 1: MIDI Volume' in your screenshot). There are other ways, like using the step editor, but they might be less straightforward. Also, a very convenient way to edit note velocities is to switch temporarily to the velocity tool using control-command and drag notes or note selections vertically.

Additionally, here is an old (but still useful) tutorial about different ways to deal with and edit velocities in Logic…

You're displaying MIDI Volume (CC #7) in you screenshot. You want to choose Note Velocity if you want to edit the velocity of notes:-

As Atlas said, there are also other windows and ways of showing and editing notes in Logic.

I don't think it is: if you have several notes at the same time it becomes quite difficult to hit the right one (without selecting it first).

I always use command-click-and-drag on the note itself to change its velocity (in Ableton; you can do the same in Logic); the "candlesticks" however give a good indication of the relative values.

In Logic it's Control-Command-drag the note vertically to change its velocity. I use this as well for individual notes.
