Moving Notes
Like clips, MIDI notes can be dragged left or
right with the Pencil tool or any Grabber tool to
change their start point on the Pro Tools Time-
line. If several notes are selected before drag-
ging, they are all moved together.
To move a MIDI note:
1 Set the MIDI or Instrument track to Notes
view.
2
With the Pencil tool or any Grabber tool, drag
the note left or right (press Shift while dragging
to preserve the note's pitch).
As the note is dragged, the Cursor Location
Value indicator (in the Edit window) displays
the new start point.
If the Edit mode is set to Grid, the dragged note
snaps to the nearest Grid boundary. If the Edit
mode is set to Spot, the Spot dialog opens.
To copy the selected notes, leaving the
originals intact, hold Option (Mac) or Alt
(Windows) while dragging.
Trimming Note Start and End Times
Like clips, start and end points for MIDI notes
can be adjusted with the Trim tool. If several
notes are selected when performing the trim,
each note is changed.
To change the start or end points for a group of
MIDI notes:
1 Set the MIDI or Instrument track to Notes
view.
2 Select the notes you want to trim.

• Use the Pencil tool.
4 Move the cursor near the beginning of any of
the highlighted notes, so the Trim tool appears.
Drag right to shorten the notes, or drag left to
lengthen them.
Changing note end times with the Trim tool
If the Edit mode is set to Grid, the dragged start
or end point snaps to the nearest Grid boundary.
If the Edit mode is set to Spot, the Spot dialog
opens, where you can enter the new location for
the note's start or end point.
When in Grid mode, use the Command key
(Mac) or the Control key (Windows) to tem-
porarily disable Grid mode.
Manually Editing Note Velocities
When a MIDI or Instrument track is set to Ve-
locity view, or when the Velocity lane is revealed
under a track, each note's attack velocity is
represented with a velocity stalk. The taller the
velocity stalk, the higher the velocity value
(0–127).
To edit MIDI velocity in the Edit window:
1
Do one of the following:
• Set the MIDI or Instrument track to
Velocity view.
