I am using Cubase 8.5 Pro on Mac OS 10.11.3, but pressing Command+Return did not let me adjust the velocities together. Is there a setting I need to change?
This may be a slight change in behavior or a bug. At present, it worked when I held Command and clicked elsewhere with the mouse to finish editing, so please try that.
Show the Info Line
If the Info Line is not visible,
click the icon in the upper left and check “Info Line.”
How it works
As mentioned at the beginning,
the Info Line can target multiple events or notes at once.
When multiple items are selected, the displayed values turn orange.
In this case, the value of the first selected event or note is displayed.
Changing the number changes the values of the other events or notes relative to it.
To set them all to the same value,
double-click and enter a number, then hold
- Mac: Command
- Windows: Control
while confirming the value.
This sets the selected items to the specified value.
You can also:
Enter precise automation values.
Rename events.
