MIDI editor
Notation display, movement, zoom
The MIDI editor features five main areas for editing:
 Matrix editor (piano roll)
 Drum editor (toggle between the drum editor and piano roll optional)
 Controller editor (for example, velocity, MIDI volume…)
 List editor (event list)
 Score editor
Various tools are available, e.g. the pencil or eraser. Exact values for each MIDI
event can also be set in the edit fields via the piano roll.
Fundamentally, changes like moving or deleting notes always refer to all
selected MIDI events (red) with only a few exceptions. Changes to the selection
in a range always apply to every other range as well. For example, you can
select a group of notes in the piano roll and then change the velocity of these
note groups which modifies all selected notes simultaneously.
Notation display in piano roll and controller editor (with velocity curves)
Notes which are not selected within the editor are displayed in blue. The
intensity of the color symbolizes the velocity, and the velocity increases as the
color gets darker/stronger.
Selected notes: Multiple selected notes are displayed in red, and a more
intense color symbolizes increased velocity.
Current event: Appears in bright red with a red border. The properties of the
currently selected events are displayed in the edit fields above the piano roll. If
an event is selected with the mouse, it turns into the current event.
Display of filtered events: You can filter specific events for the display to get a
better overview of the events of a MIDI object.
Example: The MIDI object as 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 roll and the list editor.
