The MIDI editors
Deleting notes
To delete notes, either click on them with the Eraser tool
or select them and press [Backspace].
Editing on the info line
The info line shows the values and properties of the se-
lected event(s). If a single event is selected, its values are
displayed on the info line. If several events are selected,
the info line shows the values of the first of these events in
yellow.
Several events selected.
You can edit the values on the info line using regular value
editing. This allows you to move, resize, transpose or
change velocity of events in a very precise manner. It’s also
possible to click the Pitch or Velocity field in the info line
and play a note on your MIDI keyboard – the pitch or veloc-
ity will be adjusted according to the note you played.
Ö If you have several events selected and change a value,
all selected events will be changed by the set amount.
Ö If you have several events selected, hold down [Ctrl]/
[Command] and change a value, the change will be abso-
lute.
In other words, the value setting will be the same for all selected events.
How the Key Editor handles drum maps
When a drum map (see “Working with drum maps” on
page 359) is assigned to a MIDI track, the Key Editor will
display the drum sound names as defined by the drum map.
This allows you to use the Key Editor for drum editing, e.g.
when editing drum note lengths (which may be necessary
for some external instruments) or when editing several
parts, to identify drum events.
Editing notes via MIDI
You can change the properties of notes via MIDI. For ex-
ample, this can be a fast way to get the right velocity value,
since you will hear the result even as you edit:
1. Select the note you want to edit.
2. Click on the MIDI connector symbol on the toolbar.
Click this button to enable editing via MIDI.
