Take a look at the following illustration of the screen, as it presents itself after selecting the [Edit file] button:
The window shows you all MIDI files of the active MIDI song, on the basis of its contained tracks. Please note that a
separation into individual tracks is only possible with MIDI files of type 1. MIDI files of type 0 appear all in one single
track.
The track that you want to edit can be selected through the drop down menu Track:
The drop down menu lists all tracks contained in the MIDI file. You can see an example
in the figure to the right. The very first track of the loaded MIDI file is listed as “Track1”.
This is a track that is not available in your sequencer software. The sequencer stores
basic information about the song here, like tempo and type of beat. The depiction as
“Track 1” in the selection menu agrees with the rules of MIDI specification 1.0 from
September 1996. The MULTISTATION’s depiction of this track might be changed in the
future, for the purpose of better clarity.
After selecting the track, you will see the following information:
1 Position: Indicates the current measure position in the format of measure/beat/MIDI tick.
2 Type: Indicates the type of MIDI event (e.g. Note On, CtrlChg, Text, PitchWheel).
3 Chan: Indicates the MIDI channel.
