Content Editor - Notes

The Content Editor is used to view and edit the content of a region. All regions in Amped Studio are “hybrid”, meaning they can contain both audio and note content in the same region. Double click a region to open it in the Content Editor and select the Note Editor tab to edit notes.

In the Note Editor you use the same tools available in the Controls Bar. Double click in the note view to add a new note and change the length of the note by dragging on the right side of it. You can also draw in new notes with the Pen Tool and split notes using the Split Tool.

CTRL or CMD click on a key in the piano roll to select all notes on that key.

On the left side of the content editor you find further functions.

Velocity Panel: Click to view the panel at the bottom of the Note Editor and edit the velocity (loudness) of notes. Selecting a note will select its velocity handle and vice versa. Drag a velocity handle up or down to increase or decrease the velocity of that note. Select several notes or handles to change the velocity of several notes. With several notes selected you can also change the dynamic difference in velocity between notes by dragging the velocity handles left or right.

The Pen Tool can also be used to draw in velocity changes. If you have notes selected you only draw velocity changes for the selected notes.

Quantize Notes: Click the button to move the selected notes to the editor grid lines. Great if you have recorded MIDI live and want to adjust the notes perfectly to the grid.

Use the drop down menu to select a different grid value for quantize. Quantize is applied if you have notes selected while changing the grid value.
