About controller lanes
By default, the controller display has a single lane, show-
ing one event type at a time. However, you can add lanes
by right-clicking in the display and selecting “Create new
controller lane” from the Quick menu. This allows you to
view and edit different controllers at the same time.
The controller display with three lanes set up.
• To remove a lane, right-click in it and select “Remove this
Lane” from the Quick menu, or click on the minus button.
This hides the lane from view – it doesn’t affect the events in any way.
• If you remove all lanes, the controller display will be
completely hidden.
To bring it back again, select “Create new controller lane” from the Quick
menu.
Selecting the event type
Each controller lane shows one event type at a time. To
select which type should be displayed, use the pop-up
menu to the left of the lane.
• Selecting “Setup…” opens a dialog in which you can
specify which continuous controller event types should be
available on the pop-up menu.
• Each MIDI track has its own controller lane setup (num-
ber of lanes and selected event types).
When you create new tracks, they get the controller lane setup used last.
Controller lane presets
Once you have added the required number of controller
lanes and selected the event types you need, you can
store this combination as a controller lane preset. You
could for example have a preset with one velocity lane
only, another with a combination of velocity, pitch bend
and modulation, and so on. This can make working with
controllers much quicker.
• To add the current controller lane setup as a preset, pull
down the pop-up menu to the left of the horizontal scroll-
bar and select “Add”.
Enter a name for the preset in the dialog that appears and click OK.
• To apply a stored preset, select it from the pop-up menu.
This immediately brings up the controller lanes and event types in the
preset.
• To remove or rename presets, select “Organize” from
the pop-up.
