Can cubase infer a drawn note length as the previous note length in the key editor? (say i click add an 8th note, can the next note be also 8th note until resized ?)I find my self having to select different note lengths and its killing the workflow .
The note length is determined by the Length setting.
Different lengths can be assigned key commands:
okay let me put it this way, can note length be resized past the current selected note length? say in your screenshot where grid is 1/16 and note length is say 1/4th note, if want to resize a drawn note to a 1/16 th it doesn’t happen . unless you change the note length to 1/16th. why does it work thi sway? its confusing
When drawing in a New Note in the Key Editor (or resizing an existing Note) you can make it any length you like when Snap is disabled. If Snap is enabled then the Note Lengths will Snap to increments of your Quantize setting. So if you had Quantize set to 1/16, then you can draw in Notes with lengths of 1/16, 1/8, dotted-1/8, 1/4 etc.
Don’t think of your Quantize setting as a length, it is more like setting your rhythmic resolution.
matter of fact i need the snap on
Then hold down Ctrl/Cmd while resizing with the mouse.
Then it can still be resized, only restricted to multiples of the Quantize setting. If you don’t want to be restricted to multiples of your Quant setting, the only option is to temporarily disable Snap or override it as @Johnny_Moneto suggests.
Hi. I crossgraded from FL-Studio and it has a cool feature - the next note you insert/draw follow the length of the previous one. It doesn’t depend on any quantization and grid setting. If you decreased a note a bit, then the next note you draw will follow that new length.
To be honest, I’m a bit surprised that heavy Cubase users here haven’t asked for that feature yet. It’s a time saver, which most of the other DAWs already have. I hope it comes here too 
Definitely would love to see this, my guess is that normal Cubase users dont realize how it speeds things up.
Is there any way to do this from the logical editor?
FWIW, I created a key command (“S”) to toggle snap. This is one of my most frequently used key commands. I’d go nuts without it.
i know right, we need this
