The MIDI editors
In addition to the above options, the menu also gives you
access to the presets available in the Logical Editor (see
“The Logical Editor, Transformer and Input Transformer”
on page 367). Furthermore, the “Setup…” item on the
Mask pop-up menu gives you direct access to the Logical
Editor. In that editor you can create very complex masking
settings.
When you apply any of the presets from the Logical Editor
or use the Logical Editor to create masking settings your-
self, only the events that meet the criteria specified will be
visible.
• To deactivate the Mask function, select “Nothing” from
the Mask pop-up menu.
The most typical usage of the Mask function is to view a
certain type of controller only (e.g. Modulation, Breath
Control, etc.). Since these are all the same event types
(controller), this would not be possible using the filter
view. With the “Event Types and Data 1” option on the
Mask pop-up menu, it is!
Editing in the value display
The value display to the right of the event display is a tool
for quick viewing and editing of multiple values, e.g. veloci-
ties or controller amounts. The values are shown as hori-
zontal bars, with the bar length corresponding to the value.
A velocity ramp in the value display.
You edit the values by clicking and dragging. Note that the
pointer automatically takes on the shape of the Pencil tool
when you move it into the value display – you don’t have to
select the Pencil tool for this.
Exactly which value is shown for an event depends on the
event type. The following table shows what is displayed
and edited in the Data columns and the value display:
• The value display can be hidden from view by clicking
the “Show List Value View” button on the toolbar, so that it
is not lit.
