Crossfades (max mode)
You can set the global fade settings in the menus "Fade in/Fade range".
The crossfade editor allows you to make global settings for MIDI crossfades. However, this
corresponds with the basic setting for all crossfades of the project. Crossfades between MIDI and audio
objects are possible. Create a crossfade between two objects and press "Set" to save the crossfade. If
the crossfade is set, you can use it for other objects anytime by clicking on "Get".
Fade in/out (max mode)
These settings determine the fade in and fade out effects of an object. If you add a fade effect to a MIDI
object, the changes are interpreted as a change to the velocity values of the affected notes. The fade
lengths can be changed directly in the object by using the upper left and right object handles. In max
mode the object editor provides a selection of different curves.
Object name
Enter the name of the object.
MIDI real-time effects
All 16 possible MIDI channels are displayed in max mode. If the MIDI object does not contain data for
a channel, this is displayed in grey. Only settings for one MIDI channel can be found in the preset,
reduced mode.
MIDI IN channel (max mode only)
: Mutes the channel of the MIDI object.
MIDI OUT channel
: Routes the MIDI data of a channel to a different channel.
Transp
.: Transposes all MIDI notes of this channel.
Program and bank change
: The values entered here are always transmitted if the object is played back. Use these settings if
different objects of a MIDI track are to use different programs of a synthesizer.
Quantization
This is a virtual quick quantization without further options, while the quantization settings changed in the
MIDI editor immediately affect the notes and adjust their starting positions.
Track selection
Use this if you want to split a multitrack MIDI file into separate VIP tracks but still would like to change
all MIDI objects as a group. Bear in mind that this function is only activated if several MIDI objects are
active in the VIP. Selecting several objects with the object lasso or using "Shift + mouse click" can also
achieve this.
Mute controllers
Deactivates MIDI controller
Mute SysEx
Prevents control via SysEx data
Bypass effects
Deactivates all real-time effects for this MIDI object.
Link all channels
The settings are changed for all channels simultaneously.
Background color
Changes the background color of the MIDI object.
Reload object
It may be necessary to reload the MIDI data from the file used to create the object at some point. Note:
All previous changes are overwritten.
Bar definitions
This allows you to make your own bar settings for the MIDI object. The settings can differ from the rest
of the project or other MIDI objects. The four values in the settings window (numerator, denominator,
tempo, and PPQ) can help you if you would like to increase the quality of the MIDI notes and data. For
