MIDI channel color representation
Display of filtered events: To get a better overview of the events of a MIDI object, you can
filter specific events for the display.
Example: The MIDI object has notes in the MIDI channels 1, 2, and 5. By selecting both
MIDI channels in the MIDI editor menu "Options -> MIDI channel filter", you can make all
notes in channels 2 and 5 available to editing tools. All unselected notes in channel 1 will
be filtered and displayed in grey in the piano roll and the list editor.
Events in the filtered channels can be completely hidden using the "Hide filtered MIDI
data" in the "Options" menu.
The List editor (view page 248) provides additional display filters that only function within
the list.
Display of muted events: MIDI object settings (view page 221) (in the MIDI object editor,
"Ctrl + O") can be used to mute notes and filter other MIDI events. This type of "muted"
event is displayed lighter or paler in the piano roll and list editor.
Events above and below the current picture section: Two small red rectangles above
and below the vertical scroll bar to the right-hand side of the MIDI editor screen show in
red if there are notes outside the screen's display.
Special selection options in the Piano Roll
In order to directly select all notes of a certain pitch, double-click on a free section with this
pitch in the Piano Roll Editor or in the keyboard. Hold down the "Alt" key to select notes
with this pitch only from this click position.
Using the "Shift + double click" key combination on a free area, you can create a new
event and simultaneously select all notes of this pitch.
Note: If you additionally press "Ctrl" during any of these selection methods, the new
selection is added to the current one (i. e. the previous selection is not canceled).
Piano roll: Edit events
Roll over an event with the mouse and the mouse pointer changes depending on which
event bar range you find yourself in. The following options are available to you:
• Change event start time: Drag the front edge of the event. The note end remains.
• Change event length: Drag the rear edge of the event. The note start remains.
• Set fixed event length (for multi-selection, hold "Shift" and drag the currently referenced
event longer/shorter). This function makes all events the same length.
• Scale event length relatively (for multi-selection, hold "Ctrl" and drag the currently
referenced event longer/shorter). The lengths of the selected events change relatively to
one another.
