'humanizing' in piano roll editor?
hey folks
qiuck quest - is it possible to set a 'humanization' value in the piano roll editor (or anywhere else?).
I am trying to mimic the features of most DAW's that allow you to set different offsets that change the 'attack' of an instrument. For example, to simulate a sharp pluck on a guitar string or a gentle thumb roll, or a quick, sharp press on a piano key as opposed to a slow, soft press.
thanks!

You can change the velocity of a note in the Inspector, and you can use the Piano Roll to change that or the timing. There is no Ai-like "automatic humanizing" function, but it seems the sort of thing some motivated person could probably try to write a plugin for.

Can I change the initial 'attack' of a note? For instance - using the various articulations I can change the length and/or decay of the piano notes (dots, marcatos, etc) - but can I change the initial 'attack' value?
The velocity, as I understand it, is just the individual note volume? or am I mistaken?
again, the goal is replicate a very soft 'press' on a grand piano where the hammer sort of 'kisses' the string; right now the playback is more of an 'on / off' like a digital keyboard would be.
thanks!!!

Most soundfonts - including the one included with MuseScore by default - sample each note at multiple different velocities. If you want a sample of an even quieter attack, probably there are grand piano soundfonts out there that sample a wider range of different velocities. So you should try some out to see if one suits your needs better.

The original intent of "velocity" was that it represent the velocity with which the key (or whatever) was struck. MuseScore does support "velocity" but often considers it equivalent to "volume".
