Zettt Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hi, This is an advanced question. I know that it can be done with Transform, but I'm currently totally blocked. My result should be something like this: 4 notes are in the Piano Roll. Each note should be smaller/larger than the previous one. How can I achieve this goal? Transform should be good to handle this problem I just don't know how. Thanks in advance, Zettt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janne Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hey If you are referring to the change in velocities it can be done with Transforms Crescendo option Oh yes ofcourse to revers the crescendo change/reverse the velocity settings by default is 1 to 127 to reverse make 127 to 1 and if the change is too radical change the numbers until you get a desired result regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zettt Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 That's weird. Crescendo doesn't seem to work with note length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janne Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Ah I thought you meant by velocity I know there are maximum,minimum and fixed length options. I would open the region in list editor and edit the lenghts with pencil tool regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I would open the region in list editor and edit the lenghts with pencil tool Why the pencil tool? That's usually for creating events... I'm just curious: why not use the default Pointer tool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, use the Transform window, and in "Operations on Selected Events", under the "Length" column, choose "Rel. Cresc." and a length value. Then click "Select and Operate".

Janne Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Yes this is a much more elegant solution David Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zettt Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Thanks, David! Relative Crescendo was the thing I was looking for. Can you tell me please why Transform sometimes does it's work and sometimes refusing to do anything to the notes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you click "Select and Operate", or select the desired notes manually and click "Operate"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewLogician Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Can the Mul and Div operators be used to alter the lengths of a whole group of notes similarly? Newb question, I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nosebagger Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Can you tell me please why Transform sometimes does it's work and sometimes refusing to do anything to the notes? Make sure that your region is still selected - that's caught me out on more than one occasion. But also be aware that, when using the Inside Parameter, Logic uses different reference points for bar 1 during the selection process and the operation process. To explain further, the operation process references bar number 1 as bar 1, while the selection process references the the beginning of the region as bar 1. The problem is that these two reference points will not be the same, if your region starts after bar 1. The simplest workaround is to set the Inside parameter for the actual bar position of the notes, make your note selections manually and use the Operate Only button to apply the operation. The Transform Window is quite buggy, but once you get to know the quirks, you can work with it. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzfilth Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Being the old fashioned guy that I am, I'd create an accelerando in the Tempo Track, SMPTE Lock the Region, then erase the accelerando. Done. And this way you can tweak the tempo curve exactly to your liking before committing to a result, which you can't to that extent from the Transformer window. You also avoid fiddling around with the transformer's start and end points, which are always cause for fun and excitement. Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Yes, this is a neat trick that I have used for creating drum rolls and other effects in the past. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
