Could some kind person explain, step by step, and in language a child can understand, how to copy and paste a velocity curve? I know it's obvious to all you guys, but when I try it nothing happens. I would be so grateful. BTW, when I say "child" I don't mean a computer-savvy 5 year old. I mean a 74 year old dimwit such as myself.
1. Right-click on 'Velocity'.
2. Select Paste or Copy from the menu.
That's it!
when I try it nothing happens.
Try pasting into Notepad or any other text editor as an intermediate step to see that the values are. A default, linear, curve will look like this:
Velocity = [0, 127; 0, 127]
This defines just the starting and ending points; the first two values are the X-axis values (input values from left to right), and the second two, after the semicolon, are the corresponding Y-axis values (output values from bottom to top).
Here's a curve that has input values every 8 steps with corresponding ouput values to give a non-linear curve:
Velocity = [0, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, 104, 112, 120, 127; 0, 10, 32, 46, 55, 61, 65, 69, 74, 80, 87, 94, 99, 102, 105, 111, 127]
You can copy this text and paste it into the Velocity Curve to see what it produces as an example.

You know when someone's having trouble with their computer, and someone who knows computers walks into the room, does nothing, and the computer immediately behaves? I've been trying for months to paste velocity curves, without success. Same procedure after reading your replies - works perfectly. Well thanks anyway. As my dear wife would say: you just needed to walk into the room.
If your purpose is to tweak the velocity curve once and then use it across all presets, it's easier to save it (same thing, right click "save as...") and select that.

Like dogs, computers can sense fear. ;^)

Ho Ho. Which reminds me: Happy Christmas!
