MIDI Objects 105
www.magix.com
Example: The MIDI object includes notes in the MIDI channels 1, 2, and 5. You
can now make all notes in channels 2 and 5 accessible for the selection and
editing tools via the selection of the MIDI channels in the channel filter by
selecting the two channels from the menu. All unselected, filtered notes in
channel 1 are displayed in gray in the piano editor and the list editor.
Events in the filtered channels can be completely hidden using the "Hide
filtered MIDI data" in the "Options" menu.
 A track filter (also "Options" menu) enables data to be filtered according to an
imported MIDI file in the same way.
 The list editor (view page 110) provides additional displa
y filters that only
function within the list. The display filters are activated by the playback filter
settings (mute settings), but the filters can be set independently of one
another.
Muted events display
Events that lie ahead of the object start point or behind the object end point
(the start and end points are displayed as blue lines in the editor) are also paler
than the un-muted events within the object’s boundaries. If display
transparency is activated, the outside events are grayed out.
Events above or below the currently visible selection
There are two small red indicators above and below the vertical scroll bar on
the right border of the MIDI editor window. These light up correspondingly if
there are other notes outside of the currently displayed screen selection.
Piano Roll - Edit events
There are various editing options for
notes within the Piano Roll, as well as
mouse modes. In all modes (except Delete) the same functions also apply to
notes when editing them, so that these modes only differ in behavior when you
click on empty areas.
