Table Of Contents
236 MIDI EDITORS
TAB : One step forwards (set pause)
SHIFT + TAB : One step backwards
CTRL + Arrow up/Arrow down : Entry octave upwards/downwards
CDEFGAHB : Note entry in current octave position
SHIFT : Enter chords
As long as you hold down the "Shift" key, you can enter different notes without the cursor
jumping. Use this approach to create chords.
Of course, you can also enter notes in "Step recording" mode using your controller's
keyboard.
Cell edit mode
This mode can be manually switched on and off by clicking the "Cell" button beside the
horizontal scroll bar. "Cell edit" mode gives you an alternative view of the MIDI events:
• Notes are displayed as cells. In this case, the actual note lengths for the individual events
are no longer considered. You can specify a unified display width of all events a lot more
by setting the raster quantization and length quantization values in the MIDI editor's
toolbar.
• The intensity of color of the individual notes increases with velocity strength – for larger
velocity values, the event is displayed in dark blue, and events with little velocity can be
recognized as light blue.
• "Cell edit" mode provides a better overview for display of MIDI percussion instruments
(see Drum editor (view page 239)), since these often appear as short, explosive events.
Display is limited to the most important information, note starting points, and velocity.
Velocity mode
If you click the "Vel" button next to the "Cell" button, the view switches to "Velocity" mode.
Velocity strength is longer displayed like before (with different color intensity of events).
"Velocity" mode keeps the events in the same color. The respective velocity can be
recognized by the height of the event representation. You can change the event's velocity
by dragging the mouse to the upper edge of the respective event. In all mouse modes
(except for "Delete"), the velocity can be changed by directly clicking without having to
switch to the controller editor.
Piano Roll (Matrix Editor)
For all MIDI objects that show no entry in the "Map" field, the Piano Roll can be opened
with a double click. The button is selected in the MIDI Editor if the Piano Roll is active.
