OK, I was fine tuning an little MIDI arrangement in Cubase (v.5) and I had
this track with some continuous controller data (specifically, some ramping
up and down of the master volume). All I wanted to do was select all of
that data and change the value of it, i.e., to turn down the overall volume
but retain the ups and downs. I tried different approaches and could only
change the value of one piece of the ramp at a time. There must be a way to
raise or lower the whole thing, right? What am I missing here?

I miss my Hybrid Arts SMPTE-Track. Simple, intuitive, reliable . . . hmm .
.. . I do still have my Atari 1040 ST . . .

Hi Sarah,

I don't know how Cubase 5 handles this, but in Cubase SX/4 you can use the
transform to do it (there are presets in SX than can cover this for velocity
and a few others, but they may not be in v5).

If you have the Transform in v5 I can give you a quick rundown of how to do
this, assuming it hasn't changed drastically.

Regards,
Dedric

You can also do this in SX by highlighting all the data then using the
mouse scroll wheel.

I think you can highlight all the data and reduce velocity -- I seem
to rembember the shortcut was ctrl-H in Cubase 5. But, whatever it
was, yeah, you're right, there definitely is a way. But, Cubase being
Cubase, you may have to sift through the eleventy-bajillion menus,
sub-menus, options, and optional option preference sub-options menus
to find it. Good luck.

-- oh yeah, and whatever you do, don't open the "Help" -- it ain't
helpful... -- chas.

You should have a MIDI fader option on the left of the track. Or you
could just turn down the output vol of the synthesizer. ;-)

The only place I see the word "transform" is in the function menu under "logical
editor" which seems absurdly cryptic and I couldn't make it do anything to
my contoller data except make it disappear completely. I took Bill's advice
and just shuffled through the menus on my synth module to turn down the channels
in question so I could run off a rough mix for my "peeps".

BUT . . . for future reference . . . today I discovered that in the controller
editor there is an unlabelled and well camouflaged slider that will move
the entire data stream up and down. :)

Thanks.

Yeah, the midi fader sets the intial volume, but then the contol changes override
it. I was trying to avoid changing the volume in the synth module (I hate
the staring at the little window while I push the cursor buttons and roll
the data wheel), but that is what I wound up doing.

Thanks all, for the advices.

Oh so the little lady didn't want to get her fingers dirty pushing some
buttons and "Oh, no!" turning a knob! Women!!!

Hey, don't make me come over there, mister . . . I can turn a knob if I have
to, and you won't like it one bit.

I don't even know what that means. :)

My last girlfriend told me that a couple months ago.

She was right, too!

I don't know what you meant either, but I'm scared.
