Editing Controller Events
To edit controller events, click the control button. A view similar to the velocity editor will be dis-
played (Fig. 4.4.7).
To the left of the controller event editor is a button la-
belled type, which when clicked displays a list of available
controllers (Fig. 4.4.8). If the current clip contains events for
a controller, its entry in the list will be shown in a different
colour to the other controllers (Pan position and Hold Pedal
in Fig. 4.4.8). If you are unsure which control events are con-
tained in a clip, you can use this feature to see at a glance.
Selecting a control from this list will cause the editor to show
the events, if any, for the chosen controller. In addition, a
label at the top-left corner of the editor will show the current
controller name and number.
Once you have selected a controller to edit, you can use
the pencil, eraser, select, and line tools to edit the events.
Pencil tool: Use this to insert a control change at the cursor
location.
Eraser tool: Use this to remove a control change at the cursor location.
Select tool: Use this to modify an existing control change at the cursor location.
Line tool: Use this to draw a line of control changes between the specied start and end points.
If snapping is enabled, control events will be inserted at the current snapping resolution. The CTRL
key (CMD for Mac users) can be used as usual to override the snapping mode, thus allowing the tools
to create smoother control change curves.
