NOTE AND AUTOMATION EDITING

Reverse
The Reverse pane in the Tool Window.
It’s possible to reverse note (and automation) clips and events, i.e. play the events of the clip “backwards” (from the
end to the start). The main difference between reversing note (and automation) clips compared to audio clips is that
in note clips the notes and automation points are reversed (mirrored) - not the actual audio that the notes generate.
With audio clips, however, the actual audio is reversed (played backwards).
The Reverse function can be applied to:
• Individual (selected) note events in a note clip.
This has to be done in Edit Mode.
• Individual (selected) automation points in a note clip or in an automation clip.
For note clips this has to be done in Edit Mode.
• All note and automation events in one or several selected note and automation clips.
This is done in the Song/Block View. If the clips are on the same lane, it can also be done in Edit Mode.
• All audio recordings in one or several selected audio clips.
This is done in the Song/Block View. If the clips are on the same lane, it can also be done in the Comp Editor. See
“Reversing audio clips” for more details about reversing audio clips.
! In Edit Mode, select clip(s) by clicking on it/them in the Clip Overview.
• All note and automation events in all note and automation clips on one or several selected instrument tracks.
This has to be done in the Song/Block View.
• All audio recordings in all audio clips (and all automation clips, if any) on one or several selected audio tracks.
This has to be done in the Song/Block View.
! In Song/Block View you can reverse a combination of selected note clips/tracks and audio clips/tracks in one
go!
There are two different types of Reverse functions for note clips: the “Reverse notes graphically” and the “musical re-
verse”. The “Reverse notes graphically” function considers the note lengths when the new start positions are calcu-
lated, whereas the “musical reverse” function only considers the notes’ start positions.
Here is an example of a masked note clip in Edit mode, with automation points before and after using the “Reverse
notes graphically” function:
As you can see, all end positions (Note Offs) of the notes become the new start positions (Note Ons) after the re-
verse procedure. Also, any masked notes and automation points are also “flipped around”.
